hpc-ch Forum on GPU – Video on Installation and Operational Needs of Multi-purpose GPU Clusters

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

CSCS has experience of operating multi-purpose GPU clusters for a diverse project and service portfolio.

Vincenzo Annaloro (CSCS) presents details on system installation and operation for two clusters: a production and experimental testbed that serves as HP2C prototype system and a multi-purpose visualization and GPU development cluster.

hpc-ch Forum on GPU – Video on Multi-resolution flow simulations on multi/many-core architectures

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

While the peak performance and energy efficiency of computing hardware are constantly growing, the development of fast scientific software is experiencing an important paradigm shift. Efficient algorithm implementations face rigid constraints about memory layouts, access patterns and FLOP/Byte ratios.

Diego Rossinelli (ETH Zurich) discusses the design of wavelet-based adaptive solvers for compressible flow simulations that run effectively on multi- and many-core architectures.

hpc-ch Forum on GPU – Video on GPU Use at the University of Basel

Monday, November 21st, 2011

In October hpc-ch organized together with the University of Basel a Forum on the Use of GPU and Accelerators for HPC. In a series of articles we publish the videos of the presentations.

Martin Jacquot (Universitiy of Basel) was hosting the event and presented the implementation and usage of GPU at the University of Basel.
