Scaling the Supercomputing Energy Wall with GPUs
June 28, 2011 by
Our post this week on the KQED podcast got Nvidia’s Sumit Gupta thinking that there was something missing from the puzzle: “Here at NVIDIA, we’ve been working on a solution to the supercomputing power crisis for several years. Supercomputers can use NVIDIA Tesla GPUs to dramatically accelerate supercomputing applications. Like a turbocharger on your car, […]

HPC People on the Move
June 28, 2011 by
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Louis Anton, but you can call me Lewey. I’ve been commissioned by insideHPC to go undercover at HPC conferences and get the scoop on who’s jumping ship and moving on up in high performance computing. This year at ISC, I uncovered a number of unexpected moves by […]
When Amdahl's Law Doesn't Apply
June 28, 2011 by
Clipped from: www.futurechips.org (share this clip) Amdahl’s Law is often used in parallel computing to predict the theoretical maximum speedup using multiple processors. Now, Future Chips looks at cases where Amdahl’s Law doesn’t apply: “As with any analytic model, Amdahl’s law should only be used when a workload fits the programming model assumed by the model. There are […]
Intel's New High-Performance SPMD Compiler Provides 3X Speedup
June 27, 2011 by
The GPU Science blog has a post on Intel’s new high performance SPMD Compiler: “ispc is a new compiler for “single program, multiple data” (SPMD) programs. Under the SPMD model, the programmer writes a program that mostly appears to be a regular serial program, though the execution model is actually that a number of program […]
Podcast: Supercomputers Hit an Energy Wall
June 27, 2011 by
Clipped from: www.kqed.org (share this clip) In this podcast from the Quest KQED show, Lauren Sumner interviews LBNL’s John Shalf and Kathy Yelick on the need to make supercomputing more energy efficient on the road to Exascale. “We’re able to demonstrate an additional 80 times more energy efficiency than business as usual, and that gets […]
Back from ISC with Rich Content in the Pipeline
June 27, 2011 by
We had an amazing week at ISC. I’m going over the footage now and I wanted to let you readers know that we have an incredible amount of rich media content in the pipeline. With something like 20 hours of interviews, presentations, podcasts and more, insideHPC is going to continue to post fresh content from […]
