Europe gears up for the exascale software challenge with new €8.3m CRESTA project
The first exascale supercomputers are expected to arrive at the end of this decade. These systems must deliver an exaflop – or a million million million calculations per second. A new consortium of leading European sites has come together to meet the challenge of delivering software to support and exploit these massive systems. The €8.3M […]
SPRINT training course: user-friendly statistical analysis using HECToR, the UK’s most powerful supercomputer
SPRINT (Simple Parallel R INTerface) provides easy access to high performance computing (HPC) for the analysis of high-throughput, post-genomic data using the statistical programming language R. The first ever SPRINT training course will be run at NAG Oxford on December 1st 2011. The course aims to give a general overview of the hardware, software and […]
EPCC launches CUDA research partnership with NVIDIA
EPCC’s pioneering work in the area of GPU computing has gained it the status of NVIDIA CUDA Research Center [1].
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) were originally designed to display computer graphics, but they have developed into extremely powerful chips capable of handling demanding, general-purpose calculations. However, the GPU architecture is somewhat different to that of the […]
