In just one decade, the 1990s, supercomputer centers have undergone two fundamental transitions which require rethinking their operation and their role in high performance computing. The first transition in the early to mid-1990s resulted from a technology change in high performance computing architecture. Highly parallel distributed memory machines built from commodity parts increased the oper...

The purpose of building a supercomputer is to provide superior performance on real applications. In this paper, we describe the performance of the Intel TFLOPS Supercomputer starting at the lowest level with a detailed investigation of the Pentium® Pro processor and the supporting memory subsystem. We follow this with a description of the benchmarks used to track the performance of the machine ...

This paper describes Scalable Platform Services (SPS)—a collection of software providing the manageability solution for Intel’s latest parallel processing supercomputer. Compared to previous generations of supercomputer management environments, such as that of the Intel Paragon Supercomputer, the SPS makes significant strides in feature offerings and overall usability. The SPS consists of dist...

Abstract It is common in the HPC community that achieved performance with just CPUs limited for many computational cases. The EuroHPC pre-exascale and coming exascale systems are mainly focused on accelerators, some of largest upcoming supercomputers such as LUMI Frontier will be powered by AMD Instinct™ accelerators. However, these new create challenges developers who not familiar ecosystem or...

The supercomputer “Fugaku” is an exascale manycore-based parallel system developed as a Japanese national flagship in the FLAGSHIP 2020 Project. While was ranked first for several benchmarks such TOP500, HPCG, HPL-AI, and Graph500 2020, major design concept application-first by co-design power efficiency high performance. We have designed original manycore processor based on Armv8 instruction s...
