GPUs: Low-power Pave Path to Exascale Supercomputing
The supercomputing race is accelerating, but the path to exascale computing faces serious challenges in terms of power efficiency, cost and data security. This is very interesting article published in EE|Times by Sylvie Barak. Here we are reprinting it below.
New Moore’s Law: The energy efficiency of computing is doubling every 18 months
This article describes long-term trends in the electrical efficiency of computation that enabled the creation of laptops and other mobile computing devices.
Mathematical limits of parallel computation for embedded systems
There is growing interest in the use of parallel computation as a means to increase performance while reducing power consumption. In this paper, we highlight fundamental limits to what can and cannot be improved by parallel resources.
Japan’s newest supercomputer gets to the top of Green 500
Tokyo Institute of Technology’s newest supercomputer, Tsubame 2.0, proves that high-power computing can go hand-in-hand with energy efficiency. The new computer, which was inaugurated last week, is the second most energy-efficient supercomputer in the world and that’s thanks to an administrator who was more concerned with the monthly electricity bill than the cost of the hardware.
