Fostering Diversity in HPC at Lenovo
"Lenovo is an interesting company in that they started in China and the founders realized they need to become diverse in culture and every other way. So what we've found is that they've become a multi-cultural company very, very quickly. Now, we've seen studies that show that a high level of diversity in all sorts of different ways gives us better business results. What we find is, without Gender Diversity, we're not reflecting our customers."The post Fostering Diversity in HPC at Lenovo appeared first on insideHPC.

Interview: Dr. Christoph Schär on Escaping the Data Avalanche for Climate Modeling
"There are large efforts towards refining the horizontal resolution of climate models to O(1 km) with the intent to represent convective clouds explicitly rather than using semi-empirical parameterizations. This refinement would move the governing equations closer to first principles and is expected to reduce the uncertainties of climate models. However, the output volume of climate simulations would dramatically grow, and storing it for later analysis would likely become impractical, due to limited I/O bandwidth and mass-storage capacity. In this presentation we discuss possible solutions to this challenge."The post Interview: Dr. Christoph Schär on Escaping the Data Avalanche for Climate Modeling appeared first on insideHPC.

Cycles Per Instruction – Why it matters
To compare how one version of a part of the code is running to another version, since this is a ratio, it is important to keep one of the values constant in order to understand if the optimization is working. If more cpu cycles are being used, but more instructions are being executed, then the ratio could be the same, but this measure will not show any improvement. The goal is to lower the CPI in certain parts of the code as well as the overall application.The post Cycles Per Instruction – Why it matters appeared first on insideHPC.
