  • Exploring Weak Scalability for FEM Calculations on a GPU-Enhanced Cluster

    Exploring Weak Scalability for FEM Calculations on a GPU-Enhanced Cluster

    Exploring weak scalability for FEM calculations on a GPU-enhanced cluster Dominik G¨oddeke a,∗,1, Robert Strzodka b,2, Jamaludin Mohd-Yusof c, Patrick McCormick c,3, Sven H.M. Buijssen a, Matthias Grajewski a and Stefan Turek a aInstitute of Applied Mathematics, University of Dortmund bStanford University, Max Planck Center cComputer, Computational and Statistical Sciences Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory Abstract The first part of this paper surveys co-processor approaches for commodity based clusters in general, not only with respect to raw performance, but also in view of their system integration and power consumption. We then extend previous work on a small GPU cluster by exploring the heterogeneous hardware approach for a large-scale system with up to 160 nodes. Starting with a conventional commodity based cluster we leverage the high bandwidth of graphics processing units (GPUs) to increase the overall system bandwidth that is the decisive performance factor in this scenario. Thus, even the addition of low-end, out of date GPUs leads to improvements in both performance- and power-related metrics.

    2013 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K Dear Stockholders: In 2013, we made significant progress in bringing AMD closer to our mission of becoming the world’s leading designer and integrator of innovative, tailored technology solutions that empower people to push the boundaries of what is possible. Throughout the year, we achieved many goals the Company set going into 2013 despite broader PC industry challenges. Transformation and Progress: Profitability and Acceleration of Our Business Our strategic three-phase plan to transform AMD began with resetting and restructuring our business to lay the foundation for the acceleration of our growth. By the end of 2013, we successfully implemented phase one and phase two of our turnaround plan to create a more efficient and sustainable business model in the following ways: • Reducing our operating expenses more than 30 percent from the first quarter of 2012 to the fourth quarter of 2013. • Generating more than 30 percent of our net revenues in the second half of 2013 from our semi-custom and embedded businesses, both high-growth focus areas for AMD. • Exiting the year with cash balances, including marketable securities, of $1.2 billion, above our optimal cash balance target of $1.1 billion, and establishing an incremental secured revolving line of credit up to $500 million. • Returning to profitability and free cash flow in the second half of the year. I’m very pleased to report that AMD has also made steady progress on phase three of our plan: to transform our business into a high-growth market competitor. Our business transformation is being propelled by an increasingly diversified product portfolio and a focus on driving to 50 percent of AMD revenue from five high-growth markets by the end of 2015: semi-custom solutions, ultra-low power client PC, embedded, dense server, and professional graphics.

Note that this defi nition describes a computer as having many distinct parts that work together. Most PCs today are modular. That is, they have components that can be removed and replaced with another component of the same function but with different specifi cations in order to improve performance. Each component has a specifi c function. Much of the computing industry today is focused on smaller devices, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
