New Paper Surveys Cache Partitioning Techniques
March 10, 2017 by
A new paper from IIT Hyderabad in India surveys cache partitioning techniques for multicore processors. Now accepted in ACM Computing Surveys 2017, the survey by Sparsh Mittal reviews 90 papers. “As the number of on-chip cores and memory demands of applications increase, judicious management of cache resources has become imperative. Cache partitioning is a promising approach to provide capacity benefits of shared cache with performance isolation of private caches. This paper reviews various cache partitioning techniques, e.g., strict/psuedo, static/dynamic, hardware/software-based, block/set/way-based, for improving performance/fairness/load-balancing/QoS, etc.”
Deep Learning in HPC – Using Data to Go Far Beyond Automation in Pathology
January 29, 2017 by
Dr. Amit Seti from IIT-Gauwhati presented this talk at GTCx in India. “This talk will cover how medical imaging data can be used to train computer vision systems that automate diagnostic analysis in current clinical practice. Not only that, with more creative use of data, we can go even beyond that to predict outcome of specific treatment for individual patients. We will cover results from prostate and breast cancers to show that a future is not too far where algorithms will become a necessary set of tools in a pathologist’s toolbox.”
Video: For Precision Medicine, HPC Matters at SC16
November 19, 2016 by
In this video from SC16, Steve Conway from IDC moderates a panel discussion on Precision Medicine. “Recently, DOE Secretary Moniz, VA Secretary MacDonald, NCI Director Lowy and the GSK CEO Andrew Witty announced that the Nation’s leading supercomputers would be applied to the challenge of the Cancer Moonshot initiative. This partnership of nontraditional groups, collectively see the path to unraveling the complexities of cancer through the power of new machines, operating systems, and applications that leverage simulations, data science and artificial intelligence to accelerate bringing precision oncology to the patients that are waiting. This initiative is one of many research efforts in the race to solve some of our most challenging medical problems.”
