Welcome to the Jungle: Future of Heterogeneous Supercomputing
In the twilight of Moore’s Law, the transitions to multicore processors, GPU computing, and HaaS cloud computing are not separate trends, but aspects of a single trend – mainstream computers from desktops to ‘smartphones’ are being permanently transformed into heterogeneous supercomputer clusters.
Moscow State University partners with T-Platforms to build 10 petaflops supercomputer
T-Platforms today announced an agreement to design a computer cluster capable of 10 PFlops (10^15 floating point operations per second) for M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University.
China Strengthen its HPC Training using Power of Government Control
China can use its power of government control to bring major changes quickly, and it is moving to expand parallel programming training to help its supercomputing efforts– and possibly its outsourcing industry, too.
NCSA iPhone & iPad game Flops Fever. For supercomputer geeks only
Scientists and engineers keep supercomputers busy simulating severe storms, galaxies, molecules, and more. Scheduling those jobs is like putting together a complex puzzle.
Astrophysical Supercomputing with GPUs: Critical Decisions for Early Adopters
In this paper, we have highlighted some of the benefits and limitations of early adoption of GPGPU for astronomy. While there are risks and significant effort may be required to prepare codes, in many cases the benefits will outweigh the limitations.
TACC Expands Data Center for New Supercomputer
TACC today announced that it is expanding the center’s current high performance computing (HPC) data center to house the new Stampede supercomputer, which will be built in late 2012 and go into full production to the national science community in January 2013
