The GPU has become a standard platform for accelerating high performance computing workloads, at least for those that have had their code tweaked to support acceleration at all. …
Not so long ago, there was a question whether exascale supercomputers would be built from a very large number of thin nodes containing only modest amounts of parallelism or a smaller number of fat nodes powered by specialized accelerators and powerful manycore processors. …
The confluence of big data, AI, and edge computing is reshaping the contours of high performance computing. …
The widening performance disparity between compute and I/O is not likely to get any better in the fast-approaching exascale era. …
When Oak Ridge National Laboratory installs its 1.5 exaflops Frontier supercomputer in a couple of years, it’s likely to be the most powerful system in the US, if not the world. …
TensorFlow, probably the most popular of the dozen or so deep learning frameworks, is typically used to develop neural networks on small or medium-sized clusters, and sometimes on just a single GPU-accelerated node. …
For exascale hardware to be useful, systems software is going to have to be stacked up and optimized to bend that hardware to the will of applications. …
Nvidia co-founder and chief executive officer, Jensen Huang, would be the first one to tell you that the graphics chip maker was an unintended innovator in supercomputing, that what the engineers who created the first Nvidia GPUs were really trying to do was enable 3D video games. …
OpenACC is one of the prongs in a multi-prong strategy to get people to port the parallel portions of HPC applications to accelerators. …
