  • Overview of Recent Supercomputers
    Overview of recent supercomputers Aad J. van der Steen HPC Research NCF L.J. Costerstraat 5 6827 AR Arnhem The Netherlands [email protected] www.hpcresearch.nl NCF/HPC Research October 2011 Abstract In this report we give an overview of high-performance computers which are currently available or will become available within a short time frame from vendors; no attempt is made to list all machines that are still in the development phase. The machines are described according to their macro-architectural class. The information about the machines is kept as compact as possible. No attempt is made to quote price information as this is often even more elusive than the performance of a system. In addition, some general information about high-performance computer architectures and the various processors and communication networks employed in these systems is given in order to better appreciate the systems information given in this report. This document reflects the technical momentary state of the supercomputer arena as accurately as possible. However, the author nor NCF take any responsibility for errors or mistakes in this document. We encourage anyone who has comments or remarks on the contents to inform us, so we can improve this report. NCF, the National Computing Facilities Foundation, supports and furthers the advancement of tech- nical and scientific research with and into advanced computing facilities and prepares for the Netherlands national supercomputing policy. Advanced computing facilities are multi-processor vectorcomputers, mas- sively parallel computing systems of various architectures and concepts and advanced networking facilities. Contents 1 Introduction and account 2 2 Architecture of high-performance computers 4 2.1 Themainarchitecturalclasses.

  • CRAY T90 Series IEEE Floating Point Migration Issues and Solutions
    CRAY T90 Series IEEE Floating Point Migration Issues and Solutions Philip G. Garnatz, Cray Research, Inc., Eagan, Minnesota, U.S.A. ABSTRACT: Migration to the new CRAY T90 series with IEEE floating-point arith- metic presents a new challenge to applications programmers. More precision in the mantissa and less range in the exponent will likely raise some numerical differences issues. A step-by-step process will be presented to show how to isolate these numerical differences. Data files will need to be transferred and converted from a Cray format PVP system to and from a CRAY T90 series system with IEEE. New options to the assign command allow for transparent reading and writing of files from the other types of system. Introduction This paper is intended for the user services personnel and 114814 help desk staff who will be asked questions by programmers and exp mantissa users who will be moving code to the CRAY T90 series IEEE from another Cray PVP architecture. The issues and solutions Exponent sign presented here are intended to be a guide to the most frequent problems that programmers may encounter. Mantissa sign What is the numerical model? Figure2: Cray format floating-point frames and other computational entities such as workstations and New CRAY T90 series IEEE programmers might notice graphic displays. Other benefits are as follows: different answers when running on the IEEE machine than on a system with traditional Cray format floating-point arithmetic. • Greater precision. An IEEE floating-point number provides The IEEE format has the following characteristics: approximately 16 decimal digits of precision; this is about one and a half digits more precise than Cray format numbers.

  • IUCAA CRAY CX1 Supercomputer Users Guide (V2.1)
    IUCAA CRAY CX1 supercomputer Users Guide (v2.1) 1 Introduction Cray CX1 at the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy & Astrophysics (IUCAA) Pune is a desk- top/deskside supercomputer with 1 head node, 1 GPU node and 4 compute nodes. Each node has two 2.67 Ghz Intel Xeon(5650) processors, with every processor having six cores. In total there are 72 cores on the systems. Since there are twelve cores on every node, one can use twelve OpenMP hardware threads. However, the system supports more than 12 OpenMP threads on all the nodes (apart from the head node). Every node of the system has 24 GB RAM and in total the system has 144 GB RAM. At present there is around 5 TB disk space available for users on three dierent partitions, named /home, /data1/ and /data2. Keeping in mind that this is a small system and not more than ten users will be using it, every user can get 100 GB space in the home area. Data of common use (like WMAP and Planck data) is kept in a common area /data1/cmb_data and have the right permissions so that users can use it. The Cray CX1 is equipped with a 16 port RJ-45 10Base T, 100Base T, 1000Base T Gigabit Ethernet Switch, with the data transfer capability of 1 Gbps, supporting Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet Data Link Protocol. The list of nodes is give in the Table (1). There are many software, packages and libraries already installed in the system and more (open 1 S.
