The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, PRACE (www.prace-project.eu), is a unique persistent pan-European Research Infrastructure for High Performance Computing. PRACE is a project funded in part by [...]
The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe’s work package for future petaflop computer technologies beyond 2010 recently assessed 12 prototypes for next-generation computer architectures. The evaluation included full systems, system components, software prototypes, and several research activities. For example, CSCS evaluated the PGAS programming model using the Cray Compiler Environment for UPC and CAF. CINES [...]
