As machines get larger and scientific applications advance, it is more and more imperative to fully utilize high performance computing (HPC) capability. The complexity and changing landscape of parallel computers may lead to users being…

This Lecture will provide an overview about Special Purpose Processing devices, typically utilized as “accelerators” coupled with General Purpose Processors. Main focus will be on the well known GPUs (Graphical Processing Units), but other accelerators,…

The lecture shows new trends on HPC architectures, which will be based on heterogenous platforms mixing GPPs (General-Purpose-Processor) and accelerators. At the GPP side, new multi-core Arm 64b solutions with scalable vector extension recently emerged…
