But not every business has the same problems and needs Solutions or the resources to frequently replace computing systems. Providing the Related News ability to build a system that meets the requirements for a specific problem, NUMAflex is an innovative approach to computing, combining Contact Us the third generation of SGI NUMA architecture and a modular hardware design that isolates the various components of today's servers. These Dconfigure modular components, or "bricks", isolate the CPU and memory, 1/0, This System interconnect fabric, and storage into separate bricks. Scalability is no SGIOrigin longer measured by how many systems you can link together, but by the 3200 ability to scale the various components of your system to meet the demands of your applications. SGIOrigin 3400 Flexibility to Design Your Own System SGIOrigin You no longer have to pay for the wasted potential common in yesterday'S 3800 server architectures. The SGI NUMAflex snap-together concept allows you to configure and reconfigure systems brick by brick to meet the exact 8Related Sites demands of your business applications. Complete multidimensional flexibility allows you to deploy, upgrade, service, expand, and redeploy SGIOnyx systems in every possible dimension to meet your current and future 3000 Series business needs. Storage Systems Ready for Tomorrow's Technology Networking NUMAflex offers the most powerful investment protection in the industry. .§tr~~m.i.!'Jg Keeping you on the leading edge, the SGI Origin 3000 series of servers Media can be upgraded with new technologies as they emerge, without having to replace the existing infrastructure. For example, upgrading to new 1/0 technology is as simple as adding a new brick to your system, instead of resorting to a "forklift" upgrade as required by other architectures. And for those who are not sure about the operating system they want to use in the future, SGI is in development of an Intel® 1A/64 CPU brick capable of running LinuX®. SGI NUMAflex will allow you to upgrade your CPU bricks while maintaining your investment in the infrastructure of your existing system. Minimize Downtime, Increased Serviceability SGI NUMAflex also provides increased resiliency through its modular design. Many hardware components can be removed and serviced as needed without interrupting the overall system performance. And for maximum fault containment, IRIX® 6.5 on the SGI Origin 3000 series supports partitioning, allowing you the flexibility to divide a single large SSI (single system image) server into smaller SSI systems. High Performance Scalability without Roadblocks Building on the performance of the award winning SGI Origin 2000 series and its second generation NUMA arChitecture, the SGI Origin 3000 series achieves significant performance gains. Through its modular design and improvements in SGI NUMA 3 architecture, the system structure allows for greater system and memory bandwidth with reduced latencies. And true scalability means that performance will scale proportionately as your system grows. SGITM Origin™ 3200 This affordable, routerless system scales from two to eight processors in a single shared-memory image and can be clustered (SGIT.M Ori.Q.inT.M 3200C) to leverage the power of hundreds of CPUs using a variety of low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects. A single point of administration is achieved to manage the cluster through the SGI IRISconsole™ management system. SGITM Origin™ 3400 This server includes two six-port routers to accommodate scaling from 4 to 32 processors in a single shared-memory image. For maximum flexibility, the processor and I-bricks can be configured within the same rack, with the option of adding a second rack for additional I-bricks in application areas demanding higher levels of 1/0. SGJTM Origin™ 3800 With the largest single-kernel, shared-memory image available, SGI Origin 3800 easily scales with snap-together modularity to 512 processors and a terabyte of memory. Built-in Metarouters allow clustering to tens of thousands of CPUs. Customers interested in solving very large problems will find SGI Origin 3800 the most powerful and flexible shared-memory system platform on the market. If workloads require a mixture of shared-memory and message-passing development environments, it is flexible enough to be configured with software as a single 512-processor shared-memory server or be divided into several partitions, each running a separate OS without having to recable or reconfigure the hardware. Partitioned system benefits from the low-latency and high-bandwidth NUMAlink™ Interconnect between system partitions while also providing the advantage of higher availability that a cluster delivers. privacy poli~ Iquestions/comments C.QP''y!.!gbt~.1.~;}':;?9QL§'lllY.9.!l_GmlbjQ§~J!lg, All rights reserved.

    Managing System Resources on ‘Teras’ Experiences in Managing System Resources on a Large SGI Origin 3800 Cluster The paper to the presentation given at the CUG SUMMIT 2002 held at the University of Manchester. Manchester (UK), May 20-24 2002. http://www.sara.nl Mark van de Sanden [email protected] Huub Stoffers [email protected] Introduction Outline of the Paper This is a paper about our experiences with managing system resources on ‘Teras’. Since November 2000 Teras, a large SGI Origin 3800 cluster, is the national supercomputer for the Dutch academic community. Teras is located at and maintained by SARA High Performance Computing (HPC). The outline of this presentation is as follows: Very briefly, we will tell you what SARA is, and what we presently do, particularly in high performance computing, besides maintaining Teras. Subsequently, to give you an idea, on the one hand which resources are available on Teras, and on the other hand what resources are demanded, we will give overviews of three particular aspects of the Teras: 1) Some data on the hardware – number of CPUs, memory, etc. - and the cluster configuration, i.e. description of the hosts that constitute the cluster. 2) Identification of the key software components that are used on the system; both, system software components, as well as software toolkits available to users to create their (parallel) applications. 3) A characterization of the ‘job mix’ that runs on the Teras cluster. Thus equipped with a clearer idea of both ‘supply’ and ‘demand’ of resources on Teras, we then state the resource allocation policy goals that we pursue in this context, and we review what resource management possibilities we have at hand and what they can accomplish for us, in principle.

  • Overview and History Nas Overview
    zjjvojvovo OVERVIEWNAS OVERVIEW AND HISTORY a Look at NAS’ 25 Years of Innovation and a Glimpse at the Future In the mid-1970s, a group of Ames aerospace researchers began to study a highly innovative concept: NASA could transform U.S. aerospace R&D from the costly and cghghmgm time-consuming wind tunnel-based process to simulation-centric design and engineer- ing by executing emerging computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models on supercom- puters at least 1,000 times more powerful than those commercially available at the time. In 1976, Ames Center Director Dr. Hans Mark tasked a group led by Dr. F. Ronald Bailey to explore this concept, leading to formation of the Numerical Aerodynamic Simulator (NAS) Projects Office in 1979. At the same time, a user interface group was formed consisting of CFD leaders from industry, government, and academia to help guide requirements for the NAS concept gmfgfgmfand provide feedback on evolving computer feasibility studies. At the conclusion of these activities in 1982, NASA management changed the NAS approach from a focus on purchasing a specially developed supercomputer to an on-going Numerical Aerody- namic Simulation Program to provide leading-edge computational capabilities based on an innovative network-centric environment. The NAS Program plan for implementing this new approach was signed on February 8, 1983. Grand Opening As the NAS Program got underway, a projects office to a full-fledged division its first supercomputers were installed at Ames. In January 1987, NAS staff and in Ames’ Central Computing Facility, equipment were relocated to the new starting with a Cray X-MP-12 in 1984.

    A.11 GRAPHICS CARDS, Historical Perspective (edited by J Wunderlich PhD in 2020) Graphics Pipeline Evolution 3D graphics pipeline hardware evolved from the large expensive systems of the early 1980s to small workstations and then to PC accelerators in the 1990s, to $X,000 graphics cards of the 2020’s During this period, three major transitions occurred: 1. Performance-leading graphics subsystems PRICE changed from $50,000 in 1980’s down to $200 in 1990’s, then up to $X,0000 in 2020’s. 2. PERFORMANCE increased from 50 million PIXELS PER SECOND in 1980’s to 1 billion pixels per second in 1990’’s and from 100,000 VERTICES PER SECOND to 10 million vertices per second in the 1990’s. In the 2020’s performance is measured more in FRAMES PER SECOND (FPS) 3. Hardware RENDERING evolved from WIREFRAME to FILLED POLYGONS, to FULL- SCENE TEXTURE MAPPING Fixed-Function Graphics Pipelines Throughout the early evolution, graphics hardware was configurable, but not programmable by the application developer. With each generation, incremental improvements were offered. But developers were growing more sophisticated and asking for more new features than could be reasonably offered as built-in fixed functions. The NVIDIA GeForce 3, described by Lindholm, et al. [2001], took the first step toward true general shader programmability. It exposed to the application developer what had been the private internal instruction set of the floating-point vertex engine. This coincided with the release of Microsoft’s DirectX 8 and OpenGL’s vertex shader extensions. Later GPUs, at the time of DirectX 9, extended general programmability and floating point capability to the pixel fragment stage, and made texture available at the vertex stage.

  • Interactive Visualization of Large-Scale Architectural Models Over the Grid Strolling in Tang Chang’An City
    Interactive Visualization of Large-Scale Architectural Models over the Grid Strolling in Tang Chang’an City XU Shuhong1, HENG Chye Kiang2, SUBRAMANIAM Ganesan1, HO Quoc Thuan1, KHOO Boon Tat1 and HUANG Yan2 1 Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore 2 Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore Keywords: remote visualization, grid-enabled visualization, large-scale architectural models, virtual heritage Abstract: Virtual reconstruction of the ancient Chinese Chang’an city has been continued for ten years at the National University of Singapore. Motivated by sharing this grand city with people who are geographically distant and equipped with normal personal computers, this paper presents a practical Grid-enabled visualization infrastructure that is suitable for interactive visualization of large-scale architectural models. The underlying Grid services, such as information service, visualization planner and execution container etc, are developed according to the OGSA standard. To tackle the critical problem of Grid visualization, i.e. data size and network bandwidth, a multi-stage data compression approach is deployed and the corresponding data pre-processing, rendering and remote display issues are systematically addressed. 1 INTRODUCTION Chang’an, meaning long-lasting peace, was the capital of China’s Tang dynasty from 618 to 907 AD. At its peak, it had a population of about one million. Measuring 9.7 by 8.6 kilometres, the city’s architecture inspired the planning of many capital cities in East Asia such as Heijo-kyo and Heian-kyo in Japan in the 8th century, and imperial Chinese cities like Beijing of the Ming and Qing dynasties. To bring this architectural miracle back to life, a team led by Professor Heng Chye Kiang at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has conducted extensive research since the middle of 90s.
