Compiler Directives for High Performance Computing
"Directives can be used as hints to the compiler to vectorize a loop. The developer would have better knowledge of any dependencies that a compiler, which must adhere to a number of rules when deciding if a loop can be vectorized. Directives force the compiler to vectorize, based on the knowledge of the developer, thus, if something does not work correctly, it is the responsibility of the developer to fix it, rather than blame the compiler."The post Compiler Directives for High Performance Computing appeared first on insideHPC.
Mellanox Rolls Out ConnectX-4 25 Gb/s Ethernet Adapters
"The performance expectations placed on data centers today are unprecedented and require organizations to make infrastructure decisions that meet today’s demands while anticipating future growth needs,” said Kevin Deierling, vice president of marketing at Mellanox Technologies. “Mellanox’s 25GbE adapters are designed to serve as direct replacement for commonly deployed 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters. For example, just one port of 25GbE delivers 2.5 times more bandwidth per link, consumes less power, requires half the cabling, and half the switch ports versus multiple 10GbE ports, and thus enables application acceleration at a lower cost.”The post Mellanox Rolls Out ConnectX-4 25 Gb/s Ethernet Adapters appeared first on insideHPC.

Video: Adoption Trends for Solid State in Big Data Sites
Bret Weber from DDN presented this talk at the 2016 MSST Conference. "SSDs and all flash arrays are being marketed as a panacea. This may be true if you’re a small to medium enterprise that simply needs more performance for email servers or wants to speed-up just a few hundred VMs. But, for Enterprise At-scale and High Performance Computing environments, identifying and removing I/O bottlenecks is much more complex than simply exchanging spinning disk drives with flash devices. Aside from performance – efficiency, scalability and integration are also critical success factors in larger and non-standard environments. In this domain, selecting a partner with the tools, technology and experience to holistically examine and optimize your entire I/O path can deliver orders of magnitude greater acceleration and competitive advantage to your organization."The post Video: Adoption Trends for Solid State in Big Data Sites appeared first on insideHPC.

Interview: Ken Claffey on Seagate HPC Innovation On Deck at ISC 2016
"One of the benefits of our ClusterStor modular architecture is its flexibility - we can deliver a very comparable performance with either Lustre or Spectrum Scale on the same extensible architecture. There are two key reasons for that balance of performance and flexibility. Firstly, we have a unique scale out storage architecture with a distributed processing model, meaning you’re not tied to a centralized legacy RAID controller hardware. Secondly, there is no proprietary hardware or RAID firmware in the system. All the software runs in a standard Linux environment, so we are able to take our software stack and it is really agnostic as to whether we are running with Lustre or SS."The post Interview: Ken Claffey on Seagate HPC Innovation On Deck at ISC 2016 appeared first on insideHPC.

Data Layout for High Performance
For maximum performance, data needs to flow into and out of the vectorization units. There are a few things to remember regarding laying out the data to gain high performance. These include, data layout, alignment, prefetching, and store operations. "Prefetching is also extremely important in HPC applications that use coprocessors. If the vectors are aligned, then the data can be streamed to the math units very efficiently, with data being prefetched, rather than the system having to load registers from various memory storage."The post Data Layout for High Performance appeared first on insideHPC.

Video: Neuromorphic Computing – Extreme Approaches to Weak and Strong Scaling
"Computer simulations of complex systems provide an opportunity to study their time evolution under user control. Simulations of neural circuits are an established tool in computational neuroscience. Through systematic simplification on spatial and temporal scales they provide important insights in the time evolution of networks which in turn leads to an improved understanding of brain functions like learning, memory or behavior. Simulations of large networks are exploiting the concept of weak scaling where the massively parallel biological network structure is naturally mapped on computers with very large numbers of compute nodes. However, this approach is suffering from fundamental limitations. The power consumption is approaching prohibitive levels and, more seriously, the bridging of time-scales from millisecond to years, present in the neurobiology of plasticity, learning and development is inaccessible to classical computers. In the keynote I will argue that these limitations can be overcome by extreme approaches to weak and strong scaling based on brain-inspired computing architectures."The post Video: Neuromorphic Computing – Extreme Approaches to Weak and Strong Scaling appeared first on insideHPC.
