JUWELS Cluster and Booster: Exascale Pathfinder with Modular Supercomputing Architecture at Juelich Supercomputing Centre

Cluster Computing : The Commodity Supercomputing

The availability of high-speed networks and increasingly powerful commodity microprocessors is making the usage of clusters, or networks, of computers an appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters, built using commodity-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware components as well as free, or commonly used, software, are playing a major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing...

Scientific Grand Challenges: Toward Exascale Supercomputing and Beyond

Supercomputing at Work Special :

ERCIM News is the magazine of ERCIM. Published quarterly, it reports on joint actions of the ERCIM partners, and aims to reflect the contribution made by ERCIM to the European Community in Information Technology and Applied Mathematics. Through short articles and news items, it provides a forum for the exchange of information between the institutes and also with the wider scientific community. ...

Trends in supercomputing: The European path to exascale

In the past decade a dramatic growth in supercomputer performance has been achieved despite the fact that processor clock rates are becoming have saturated. The chip industry has compensated these limitations by moving from single-core to multiand many-core processors. While this approach yields performance characteristics matching or even exceeding that suggested by Moores Law, the high parall...

Interactive supercomputing

MITMatlab is a system that provides users of high performance computers with an interactive, easy-to-use environment for solving their scientific and engineering problems. It is an effort to bridge the gap between scientific computing in the desktop and supercomputer worlds by providing users of parallel machines with a tool for manipulating and visualising large datasets. We believe that the m...
