Pre-SC11: Japan Pushes World’s Fastest Computer Past 10 Petaflop Barrier
The Japanese have broken the 10 petaflop barrier. On Wednesday November 2nd, Japanese IT giant Fujitsu and the government-funded RIKEN researcoh lab announced that the supercomputer they’ve built in Kobe can speed through 10.51 quadrillion floating point operations per second.
Oak Ridge National Lab to build largest supercomputer on Cray XK6 system and Nvidia GPUs
The new system will employ the latest AMD Opteron central processing units as well as NVIDIA Tesla graphics processing units — energy-efficient processors that accelerate specific types of calculations in scientific application codes. The last phase of the upgrade is expected to be completed in late 2012.
International Supercomputing Conference (ISC 12): Call for Papers
The International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) is an IEEE-recognized global conference and exhibition for high performance computing, networking and storage. ISC is moving into its 27th year of providing a platform for 2,300 like-minded HPC researchers, technology leaders, scientists and IT-decision makers to get together and find solutions for HPC challenges.
Optimizing Linpack Benchmark on GPU-Accelerated Petascale Supercomputer
In this paper we present the programming of the Linpack benchmark on TianHe-1 system, the first petascale supercomputer system of China, and the largest GPU-accelerated heterogeneous system ever attempted before. A hybrid programming model consisting of MPI, OpenMP and streaming computing is described to explore the task parallel, thread parallel and data parallel of the Linpack.
