    Linpack Evaluation on a Supercomputer with Heterogeneous Accelerators Toshio Endo Akira Nukada Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering Global Scientific Information and Computing Center Tokyo Institute of Technology Tokyo Institute of Technology Tokyo, Japan Tokyo, Japan [email protected] [email protected] Satoshi Matsuoka Naoya Maruyama Global Scientific Information and Computing Center Global Scientific Information and Computing Center Tokyo Institute of Technology/National Institute of Informatics Tokyo Institute of Technology Tokyo, Japan Tokyo, Japan [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—We report Linpack benchmark results on the Roadrunner or other systems described above, it includes TSUBAME supercomputer, a large scale heterogeneous system two types of accelerators. This is due to incremental upgrade equipped with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs and ClearSpeed SIMD of the system, which has been the case in commodity CPU accelerators. With all of 10,480 Opteron cores, 640 Xeon cores, 648 ClearSpeed accelerators and 624 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, clusters; they may have processors with different speeds as we have achieved 87.01TFlops, which is the third record as a result of incremental upgrade. In this paper, we present a heterogeneous system in the world. This paper describes a Linpack implementation and evaluation results on TSUB- careful tuning and load balancing method required to achieve AME with 10,480 Opteron cores, 624 Tesla GPUs and 648 this performance. On the other hand, since the peak speed is ClearSpeed accelerators. In the evaluation, we also used a 163 TFlops, the efficiency is 53%, which is lower than other systems.

With the shift in high-performance computing (HPC) towards energy ecient hardware architectures such as accelerators (NVIDIA GPUs) and embedded systems (ARM processors), arose the need to adapt existing perfor- mance analysis tools to these new systems. We present EZTrace a performance analysis framework for parallel applications. EZTrace relies on several core components, in particular on a mechanism for instrumenting func- tions, a lightweight tool for recording events, and a generic interface for writing traces. To support EZTrace on energy ecient HPC systems, we developed a CUDA module and ported EZTrace to ARM processors.

  • Science-Driven Development of Supercomputer Fugaku
    Special Contribution Science-driven Development of Supercomputer Fugaku Hirofumi Tomita Flagship 2020 Project, Team Leader RIKEN Center for Computational Science In this article, I would like to take a historical look at activities on the application side during supercomputer Fugaku’s climb to the top of supercomputer rankings as seen from a vantage point in early July 2020. I would like to describe, in particular, the change in mindset that took place on the application side along the path toward Fugaku’s top ranking in four benchmarks in 2020 that all began with the Application Working Group and Computer Architecture/Compiler/ System Software Working Group in 2011. Somewhere along this path, the application side joined forces with the architecture/system side based on the keyword “co-design.” During this journey, there were times when our opinions clashed and when efforts to solve problems came to a halt, but there were also times when we took bold steps in a unified manner to surmount difficult obstacles. I will leave the description of specific technical debates to other articles, but here, I would like to describe the flow of Fugaku development from the application side based heavily on a “science-driven” approach along with some of my personal opinions. Actually, we are only halfway along this path. We look forward to the many scientific achievements and so- lutions to social problems that Fugaku is expected to bring about. 1. Introduction In this article, I would like to take a look back at On June 22, 2020, the supercomputer Fugaku the flow along the path toward Fugaku’s top ranking became the first supercomputer in history to simul- as seen from the application side from a vantage point taneously rank No.

Gaint Brain • ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and around 5 million hand-soldered joints. It weighed more than 27 tons, took up 167 m2, and consumed 150 kW of power. • This led to the rumor that whenever the computer was switched on, lights in Philadelphia dimmed. • Input was from an IBM card reader, and an IBM card punch was used for output.

In this paper, we provide a detailed introduction to the TaihuLight system. In contrast with other existing heterogeneous supercomputers, which include both CPU processors and PCIe-connected many-core accelerators (NVIDIA GPU or Intel Xeon Phi), the computing power of TaihuLight is provided by a homegrown many-core SW26010 CPU that includes both the management processing elements (MPEs) and computing processing elements (CPEs) in one chip.

Their purpose: To find new growth prospects. While revenue increases of more than 5 percent on average have not been uncommon for Germany’s 500 largest companies in the past, that level of growth has not occurred for the last four years. The reasons are obvious. With their high export rates, This study is intended to examine critically the Germany’s industrial companies continue to be major opportunities arising at the beginning of a new era of players in the global market. Their exports have, in fact, technology. Accenture uses four insights to not only been so high in the past that it is now increasingly describe the progress that has been made in digital difficult to sustain their previous rates of growth. markets, but also suggests possible steps companies can take to overcome weak growth.
