DARPA Selects Cray and IBM for Final Phase of HPCS
نویسنده
چکیده
This week, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) selected Cray and IBM as the two Phase III developers for the High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) program. Initiated in 2002, the program is designed to produce a new generation of cost-effective, highly productive petascale systems for national security, scientific research and industrial users. The first two phases of HPCS were devoted to critical concept studies and assessments, preliminary research and development, and risk reduction engineering. Over the next four years, the third and final phase of the program will encompass development and demonstration of the HPCS technologies, culminating in a prototype system by each of the two vendors in 2010.

متن کاملOverview of the HPC Challenge Benchmark Suite
The HPC Challenge1 benchmark suite has been released by the DARPA HPCS program to help define the performance boundaries of future Petascale computing systems. HPC Challenge is a suite of tests that examine the performance of HPC architectures using kernels with memory access patterns more challenging than those of the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark used in the Top500 list. Thus, the ...
متن کاملHeterogenic Final Cell Cycle by Chicken Retinal Lim1 Horizontal Progenitor Cells Leads to Heteroploid Cells with a Remaining Replicated Genome
Retinal progenitor cells undergo apical mitoses during the process of interkinetic nuclear migration and newly generated post-mitotic neurons migrate to their prospective retinal layer. Whereas this is valid for most types of retinal neurons, chicken horizontal cells are generated by delayed non-apical mitoses from dedicated progenitors. The regulation of such final cell cycle is not well under...
متن کاملVectorizing the Community Land Model
In this paper we describe our extensive efforts to rewrite the Community Land Model (CLM) so that it provides good vector performance on the Earth Simulator in Japan and the Cray X1 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We present the technical details of the old and new internal data structures, the required code reorganization, and the resulting performance improvements. We describe and compare t...
