Reimagining HPC Compute and Storage Architecture with Intel Optane Technology
December 31, 2019 by
Andrey Kudryavtsev from Intel gave this talk at the DDN User Group in Denver. “Intel Optane DC SSDs are proven technologies that have helped data centers remove storage bottlenecks and accelerate application performance for the past two years. Now, the launch of Intel Optane persistent memory and the integrated support of 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors is further shrinking the gap between storage and DRAM. Together, Intel Optane DC persistent memory and Intel Optane SSDs deliver value across four crucial vectors.”
SC19 Invited Talk: OpenSpace – Visualizing the Universe
December 28, 2019 by
Anders Ynnerman from Linköping University gave this invited talk at SC19. “This talk will present and demonstrate the NASA funded open source initiative, OpenSpace, which is a tool for space and astronomy research and communication, as well as a platform for technical visualization research. OpenSpace is a scalable software platform that paves the path for the next generation of public outreach in immersive environments such as dome theaters and planetariums.”
SC19 Invited Talk: HPC Solutions for Geoscience Application on the Sunway Supercomputer
December 25, 2019 by
Lin Gan from Tsinghua University gave this invited talk at SC19. “In recent years, many complex and challenging numerical problems, in areas such as climate modeling and earthquake simulation, have been efficiently resolved on Sunway TaihuLight, and have been successfully scaled to over 10 million cores with inspiringly good performance. To carefully deal with different issues such as computing efficiency, data locality, and data movement, novel optimizing techniques from different levels are proposed, including some specific ones that fit well with the unique architectural futures of the system and significantly improve the performance.”
Video: Optimizing Flash at Scale at CEA
December 23, 2019 by
In this video from the DDN User Group at SC19, Gael Delbray from CEA presents: Optimizing Flash at Scale. “The major challenges that the HPC will face in the coming years are manifold, such as the development of hardware and software architectures able to deliver very high computing power, modelling methods combining different scales and physical models and the management of huge volumes of numerical data.”
Video: SC19 BoF session on TOP500 supercomputers
December 19, 2019 by
“This years BoF will follow this traditional format and present detailed analyses of the TOP500 and discuss the changes in the HPC marketplace during the past years. Results from the Green500 and the HPCG benchmark will also be discussed. The BoF is meant as an open forum for discussion and feedback between the TOP500 authors and the user community.”
Argonne-led team wins SCinet Technology Challenge at SC19
December 18, 2019 by
An extensive collaboration led by Argonne won the Inaugural SCinet Technology Challenge at the SC19 conference by demonstrating real-time analysis of light source data from Argonne’s APS to the ALCF. “Accelerator-based light sources — large-scale instruments used to investigate the fundamental properties of matter — generate large amounts of data that require computational analysis. The Argonne team won by designing an innovative method to support such investigations.”
