Allinea Updates Code Optimization Tools Across Platforms
February 9, 2017 by
Today Allinea Software launched the first update to its well-established toolset for debugging, profiling and optimizing high performance code since being acquired by ARM in December 2016. “The V7.0 release provides new integrations for the Allinea Forge debugger and profiler and Allinea Performance Reports and will mean more efficient code development and optimization for users, especially those wishing to take software performance to new levels across Xeon Phi, CUDA and IBM Power platforms,” said Mark O’Connor, ARM Director, Product Management HPC tools.
Video: Modern Code – Making the Impossible Possible
January 20, 2017 by
In this video, Rich Brueckner from insideHPC moderates a panel discussion on Code Modernization. “SC15 luminary panelists reflect on collaboration with Intel and how building on hardware and software standards facilitates performance on parallel platforms with greater ease and productivity. By sharing their experiences modernizing code we hope to shed light on what you might see from modernizing your own code.”
Preparing Developers for Tomorrow’s Systems
November 8, 2016 by
In this special guest feature, Bill Mannel from Hewlett Packard Enterprise writes that upcoming Intel HPC Developer Conference in Salt Lake City is a great opportunity to learn about code modernization for the next generation of high performance computing applications. “As computing systems grow increasingly complex and new architecture designs become mainstream, training developers to write code which runs on future HPC systems will require a collaborative environment and the expertise of the best and brightest in the industry.”
Latest NAG Numerical Library Adds Optimization Modeling Suite
October 20, 2016 by
Today the Numerical Algorithms Group announces the latest version of its flagship software, the NAG Library, Mark 26. In this release, NAG has introduced an Optimization Modeling Suite for linear and nonlinear semidefinite programming and general nonlinear programming. It also features new routines in the important computational areas of Nearest Correlation Matrix and Quadrature.
Video: How to Reclaim your Application Performance
October 13, 2016 by
In this video from the HPC Advisory Council Spain Conference, Martin Hilgeman from Dell Technologies provides a detailed overview of how to approach code optimization through providing more parallelism. “Martin Hilgeman brings perspectives of a system builder to the massively parallel performance discussion – examining the continuous advances in multi-core architectures and its impact on users and computational work.”
Allinea Tools Advance Research at VSC in Austria
October 6, 2016 by
“Science problems are becoming increasingly complex in all areas from physics and bioinformatics to engineering,” said Siegfried Hoefinger, High Performance Computing Specialist at VSC explains. “Bigger is better, but inefficiency will always limit what you can achieve. The Allinea tools will enable us to quickly establish the root cause of bottlenecks and understand the markers for inefficient code. By doing so we’re helping to prove the case for modernization, can start to eliminate inefficiencies and exploit latent capacity to its full effect.”
SC16 Tutorial to Focus on Node-Level Performance Engineering
September 30, 2016 by
Sure, your code seems fast, but how do you know if you are leaving potential performance on the table? Recognized HPC experts Georg Hager and Gerhard Wellein will teach a tutorial on Node-Level Performance Engineering at SC16. The session will take place 8:30-5:00pm on Sunday, Nov. 13 in Salt Lake City.
Minimal Metrics Releases PerfMiner Parallel Optimization Tool
September 23, 2016 by
This week Minimal Metrics announced an early-adopter program for PerfMiner, which uses lightweight, and pervasive performance data collection technology, automates its collection, and mines the data for key performance indicators. These indicators were developed through Minimal Metrics’ extensive experience tuning HPC and enterprise application performance, presented in an audience-specific, drill-down hierarchy that provides accountability for site productivity down to the performance of individual application threads.
