Cluster Computing: The Commodity Supercomputer
The availability of high-speed networks and increasingly powerful commodity microprocessors is making the usage of clusters, or networks, of computers an appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters, built using Commodity-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware components as well as free, or commonly used, software, are playing a major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing...
متن کامل1 The BlueGene/L Supercomputer ∗
The architecture of the BlueGene/L massively parallel supercomputer is described. Each computing node consists of a single compute ASIC plus 256 MB of external memory. The compute ASIC integrates two 700 MHz PowerPC 440 integer CPU cores, two 2.8 Gflops floating point units, 4 MB of embedded DRAM as cache, a memory controller for external memory, six 1.4 Gbit/s bi-directional ports for a 3-dime...
متن کاملThe Performance of the Intel TFLOPS Supercomputer
The purpose of building a supercomputer is to provide superior performance on real applications. In this paper, we describe the performance of the Intel TFLOPS Supercomputer starting at the lowest level with a detailed investigation of the Pentium® Pro processor and the supporting memory subsystem. We follow this with a description of the benchmarks used to track the performance of the machine ...
متن کاملA Streaming Supercomputer
We are in an era where computational building blocks are plentiful and inexpensive. A single chip today can hold over 100 1GHz °oating-point units for a total performance of 100 GFLOPS/chip. Many graphics chips achieve 80GFLOPS and over 1TOP rendering performance, and cost less than $100. Embedded processors are less powerful, but incredibly cheap. It is fair to say that a raw GFLOPS costs less...
متن کاملA Compiler-driven Supercomputer
The overall prrformance of supercomputers is slow compared to the speed of their underlying logic technology. This discrepancy is due to several bottlenecks: memories are slower than the CPU, conditional jumps limit the usefulness of pipelining and pre-fetching mechanisms, and functional-unit parallelism is limited by the speed of hardware scheduling. This paper describes a supercomputer archit...
