Overview of the Next Generation Cray XMT
نویسنده
چکیده
The next generation of Cray’s multithreaded supercomputer is architecturally very similar to the Cray XMT, but the memory system has been improved significantly and other features have been added to improve reliability, productivity, and performance. This paper begins with a review of the Cray XMT followed by an overview of the next generation Cray XMT implementation. Finally, the new features of the next generation XMT are described in more detail and preliminary performance results are given.

Optimizing Loop-level Parallelism in Cray XMT Applications
In this paper, we describe how to write efficient, parallel codes for the Cray XMT system, a massively multithreaded shared memory computer. To achieve good performance on Cray XMT systems, programs must exploit not only coarse-grained parallelism at the algorithmic level, but also fine-grained parallelism at the loop level. While the Cray XMT compiler is capable of performing the loop-level op...
متن کاملApplication of Cray XMT for Power Grid Contingency Selection
Contingency analysis is a key function to assess the impact of various combinations of power system component failures. It involves combinatorial numbers of contingencies that exceed the capability of even very large supercomputing platforms. Therefore, it is critical to select credible contingency cases within the constraint of computing power. This paper presents a contingency selection metho...
متن کاملInteractive Authoring Tool for Extensible MPEG-4 Textual Format (XMT)
MPEG-4 is an ISO/IEC standard which defines a multimedia system for communicating interactive scenes containing various types of media objects. The Extensible MPEG-4 Textual format (XMT) framework provides interoperability between existing practices such as the Extensible 3D (X3D) and MPEG-4. This paper introduces an XMT authoring tool that supports a visual environment for building a spatio-te...
متن کاملXMT-HW2: Shared-Memory Sample Sort
The goal of this assignment is to provide a randomized sorting algorithm that runs efficiently on XMT. While you are allowed some flexibility as to what serial sorting algorithms to use for different steps of the parallel algorithm, you should try to find and select the most efficient one for each case. The Sample Sort algorithm follows a “decomposition first” pattern and is widely used on mult...
متن کاملCray XMT Brings New Energy to High-Performance Computing
The vastly increasing volumes and complexities of experimental and computational data pose significant challenges to traditional high-performance computing (HPC) platforms as terabytes to petabytes of data must be processed and analyzed. And the growing complexity of computer models that incorporate dynamic multiscale and multiphysics phenomena place enormous demands on high-performance compute...
