Exascale: SUPERLU/STRUMPACK Solvers Get Frontier Upgrade

“Before (the Exascale Computing Project), both packages had very little support for GPUs. We could get some benefit from running on a single GPU, but without updating the code, even 10 GPUs wouldn’t make it run much faster. We had to redesign a lot of algorithms ….”

ISC 2024’s Wednesday Keynote: Two Trends Transforming HPC

Overarching both themes is the slowing of Moore’s Law, the deceleration of improvement in HPC performance combined with increasing costs for new generations of systems. In addition, implementing and realizing the benefits of new systems is slowing ….

Lenovo Maximizes HPC Resources via Partnership with SchedMD and Slurm Workload Manager

[SPONSORED GUEST ARTICLE] In HPC, leveraging compute resources to the maximum is a constant goal and a constant source of pressure. The higher the usage rate, the more jobs get done, the less resources sit idle, the greater the return on the HPC investment. At Lenovo, with its….

NVIDIA at SIGGRAPH: DGX Integration with Hugging Face for LLM Training; Announcement of AI Workbench

At the the SIGGRAPH conference this morning in Los Angeles, NVIDIA made several generative AI-related announcements, including a partnership with Hugging Face intended to broaden access to generative AI supercomputing (NVIDIA’s DGX cloud hardware) for developers building large language models (LLMs) and other AI applications on the Hugging Face platform.

ExaWorks: Tested Component for HPC Workflows

ExaWorks is an Exascale Computing Project (ECP)–funded project that provides access to hardened and tested workflow components through a software development kit (SDK). Developers use this SDK and associated APIs to build and deploy production-grade, exascale-capable workflows on US Department of Energy (DOE) and other computers. The prestigious Gordon Bell Prize competition highlighted the success of the ExaWorks SDK when the Gordewinner and two of three finalists in the 2020 Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Special Prize for High Performance Computing–Based COVID-19 Research competition leveraged ExaWorks technologies.
