Finite element assembly strategies on multi-core and many-core architectures
We have investigated the implementation space for parallel global assembly in the finite element method using a variety of GPU platforms and a more traditional CPU architecture.
New Generation of Industry-ready 3D Computer Chips
EPFL has developed and demonstrated a new 3D integration technology that allows stacking of chips vertically rather than side-by-side. Thanks to this technology, computers will be faster, more efficient and capable of carrying out more tasks simultaneously.
Nvidia 28nm GK104 “Kepler” GPU specs leaked
Nvidia’s next-generation 28nm GPU architecture, codenamed Kepler, is officially expected to launch in early Q2 2012 according to the latest schedule from the company.
Heterogeneous Systems Architecture: AMD Dumps “Fusion” Brand
Advanced Micro Devices said Thursday that from now on it would call its Fusion system architecture (FSA) as heterogeneous system architecture (HSA).
4th Workshop on using Emerging Parallel Architectures (WEPA 2012)
This workshop provides a forum for exploring the capabilities of emerging parallel architectures to accelerate computational science applications. Papers are being sought on a wide variety of topics related to the field of using emerging parallel architectures for computational science.
AppliedMicro Shows World’s First 64-bit ARM Processor
This week at ARM TechCon 2011, AppliedMicro announced “X-Gene” the world’s first 64-bit ARM architecture compliant processor on an FPGA SoC (effectively a Server on a Chip, instead of System on Chip)
Fermi GF100 GPU Architecture: tessellation, physics processing, and computational graphics
The Fermi GF100 is a GPU architecture that excels in graphics and high-performance computing. First demonstrated for its CUDA capabilities, Fermi GF100 GPU products became available in March 2010.
Gemma in April: A Matrix-like Parallel Programming Architecture on OpenCL
In this article, we propose a novel parallel computing architecture. The architecture includes Gemma, a general parallel programming model, and April, a programming framework based on Gemma and OpenCL. Gemma uses matrix operation, especially matrix multiplication, to describe general computing tasks.
39th International Symposium on Computer Architecture, ISCA 2012
The 39th International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) is the premier forum for new ideas and experimental results in computer architecture. ISCA 2012 will be held in Portland, Oregon during June 9-13th, 2012.
PARLAB 2011 Lecture: Introduction to Parallel Architectures and Pthreads
Why parallelism is our future, and what programmers need to know about the hardware in order to write efficient programs. We also introduce parallel programming with Pthreads.
