Extreme-scale computer architecture

Extreme - Scale Computer Architecture

Increased transistor integration will soon allow us to build processor chips with over 1,000 cores. To construct such a chip, energy and power consumption are the most formidable obstacles. Hence, we need to design it from the ground up for energy efficiency. First of all, we want to operate at low voltage, since this is the point of maximum energy efficiency. In such an environment, however, w...

Extreme-Scale Visual Analytics

The September/October 2004 CG&A introduced the term visual analytics (VA) to the computer science literature. In 2005, an international advisory panel with representatives from academia, industry, and government defined VA as “the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces.” VA has grown rapidly into a vibrant R&D community offering data analytics and explorati...

Computer Architecture

A computer architecture is a detailed specification of the computational, communication, and data storage elements (hardware) of a computer system, how those components interact (machine organization), and how they are controlled (instruction set). A machine’s architecture determines which computations can be performed most efficiently, and which forms of data organization and program design wi...
