چکیده

* 30 Galesi Drive, Suite 202B, Wayne, NJ 07470, USA † 46555 Landing Parkway, Fremont, CA 94538, USA Abstract Software developers and architects creating and upgrading their code to run on new processor architectures for embedded market segments are trying to harness the processing power available from these multi-core platforms. These market segments include fraud detection, market risk analysis, digital image processing, storage, and many others. Unfortunately, legacy applications in these domains cannot leverage the parallelism inherent in multi-core systems without extensive remodeling and reprogramming. Despite the price/performance ad-vantages of these systems, it is hard to accelerate and scale the performance of applications to take advantage of the additional processing power.

Accessing Data on SGI Altix: An Experience with Reality

The SGI Altix system architecture allows to support very large ccNUMA shared memory systems. Nevertheless, the system layout sets boundaries to the sustained memory performance which can only be avoided by selecting the “right” data access strategies. The paper presents the results of cache and memory performance studies on SGI Altix 350. It demonstrates limitations and benefits of the system a...

Optimizing OpenMP Parallelized DGEMM Calls on SGI Altix 3700

Using functions of parallelized mathematical libraries is a common way to accelerate numerical applications. Computer architectures with shared memory characteristics support different approaches for the implementation of such libraries, usually OpenMP or MPI. This paper’s content is based on the performance comparison of DGEMM calls (floating point matrix multiplication, double precision) with...

P-95: Flow Cytometry Analysis of Bovine Semen:A Qualitative Study

Background: Although AI practices have been introduced little over 60 years, the success rate remains relatively low. This might be due to the exclusive selection of semen based on motility analysis. Recent advancement in sperm sexing using flow cytometry with an increased throughput from next generation cell sorters, made use of this technology in studding sperm qualitative aspects other than ...

High Performance FFT on SGI Altix 3700

We have developed a high-performance FFT on SGI Altix 3700, improving the efficiency of the floating-point operations required to compute FFT by using a kind of loop fusion technique. As a result, we achieved a performance of 4.94 Gflops at 1-D FFT of length 4096 with an Itanium 2 1.3 GHz (95% of peak), and a performance of 28 Gflops at 2-D FFT of 4096 with 32 processors. Our FFT kernel outperf...
