Thursday 27 October 2011, 10:00 – 17:00, hosted by Universität Basel Setting the Scope In the last years the interest in using Graphics Processing Units (GPU) for HPC computing has been growing. Modern GPUs are designed to support computer games in the real time calculation of their visual effects. Therefore modern GPUs are highly parallel [...]
Earlier this year, CSCS hosted a tutorial called “Molecular Dynamics Codes on GPGPUs” — it provided an overview of classical molecular dynamics software, showed some benchmarking results, and gave a hands-on walkthrough using GPU-accelerated MD codes. CSCS published a brief summary of the benchmarking results that were featured in the tutorial. CSCS looked at two [...]
EPF Lausanne has recently made available to its user community a new compute server based on a hybrid CPU-GPU architecture called «Electra». This resource is designed as a test facility for new developments and the porting of existing algorithms and codes, as well as for production purposes. Read an article describing «Electra» on Flash informatique [...]
