FPGA Programming Made Easy
March 15, 2018 by
In the past, it was necessary to understand a complex programming language such as Verilog or VHDL, that was designed for a specific FPGA. “Using a familiar language such as OpenCL, developers can become more productive, sooner when deciding to use an FPGA for a specific purpose. OpenCL is portable and is designed to be used with almost any type of accelerator.”

Intel Omni-Path Architecture: The Real Numbers
January 3, 2018 by
In this slidecast, Joe Yaworski from Intel describes the Intel Omni-Path architecture and how it scales performance for a wide range of HPC applications. He also shows why recently published benchmarks have not reflected the real performance story.
Dr. Pradeep Dubey on AI & The Virtuous Cycle of Compute
January 2, 2018 by
“Deep Learning was recently scaled to obtain 15PF performance on the Cori supercomputer at NERSC. Cori Phase II features over 9600 KNL processors. It can significantly impact how we do computing and what computing can do for us. In this podcast, I will discuss some of the application-level opportunities and system-level challenges that lie at the heart of this intersection of traditional high performance computing with emerging data-intensive computing.”
