First developed in 1998, the hypre team has adapted their cross-platform high performance library to support a variety of machine architectures over the years. Hypre supports scalable solvers and preconditioners that can be applied to large sparse linear systems on parallel computers.[i] Their latest work now gives scientists the ability to efficiently utilize modern GPU-based extreme scale parallel supercomputers to address many scientific problems.

European HPC Exascale Project DEEP-EST Completed
April 15, 2021 by
Jülich/Munich, April 15, 2021 – The project “DEEP Extreme Scale Technologies,” funded by the European Union, has come to a successful conclusion. DEEP-EST started in 2017 to develop a modular architecture for high performance computing (HPC). Leveraging a co-design approach with real-life applications, the DEEP-EST project paved the way for future exascale systems that will […]

Porting a Particle-in-Cell Code to Exascale Architectures
April 2, 2021 by
By Nils Heinonen on behalf of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility As part of a series aimed at sharing best practices in preparing applications for Aurora, we highlight researchers’ efforts to optimize codes to run efficiently on graphics processing units. Take advantage of upgrades being made to high-level, non-machine-specific libraries and programming models Developed in […]
Preparing for Exascale: ALCF’s Aurora Early Science Program and Visualizing Cancer’s Spread
March 26, 2021 by
Scientists are preparing a cancer modeling study to run on Argonne’s upcoming Aurora supercomputer before it goes online in 2022. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory will be home to one of the nation’s first exascale supercomputers – Aurora is scheduled to arrive in 2022. To prepare codes for the architecture and scale of […]
Continuous Integration: The Path to the Future for HPC
March 24, 2021 by
By Rob Farber on behalf of the Exascale Computing Project The Exascale Computing Project (ECP) is investing heavily in software for the forthcoming exascale systems as can be seen in the many tools, libraries and software components that are already freely available for download via the Extreme-Scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S). In order for these software […]
Meet the Frontier Exascale Supercomputer: How Big Is a Quintillion?
March 24, 2021 by
Are all comparisons so odious, really? Some can illuminate, some can awe. HPE-Cray has put out an infographic about its Frontier exascale supercomputer, the U.S.’s first, scheduled to be shipped to Oak Ridge National Laboratory later this year. It’s got interesting comparisons that shed light on how big a quintillion is. Make that 1.5 quintillion, […]

Stop the Lab Worship: Commercial HPC is Sexy, Too
March 22, 2021 by
There’s a trend in the data storage world to call out a growing “divide” between HPC and enterprise storage. We believe that’s an oversimplification. What’s worse, it reinforces popular myths coursing through the HPC landscape that revel in what we call “lab worship” at the expense of more mainstream enterprise customers.
