Exascale: SUPERLU/STRUMPACK Solvers Get Frontier Upgrade
July 10, 2024 by
“Before (the Exascale Computing Project), both packages had very little support for GPUs. We could get some benefit from running on a single GPU, but without updating the code, even 10 GPUs wouldn’t make it run much faster. We had to redesign a lot of algorithms ….”
@HPCpodcast: An Analysis of the New Top500 List
May 14, 2024 by
In this episode of @HPCpodcast, sponsored by Lenovo, Shahin and Doug discuss the big news on the Monday of each annual ISC conference in Germany, the release of the new Top500 ranking of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. At ISC 2024 here in Hamburg, we learned that the U.S. now has two exascale-class systems, , the AMD/HPE-Cray Frontier system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and ….

@HPCpodcast: Matt Sieger of OLCF-6 on the Post-Exascale ‘Discovery’ Vision
March 26, 2024 by
What does a supercomputer center do when it’s operating two systems among the TOP-10 most powerful in the world — one of them the first system to cross the exascale milestone? It starts planning its successor. The center is Oak Ridge National Lab, a U.S. Department….
Exascale’s New Software Frontier: ExaSGD
March 5, 2024 by
“Exascale’s New Frontier,” a project from the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, explores the new applications and software technology for driving scientific discoveries in the exascale era. The Scientific Challenge As more renewable sources of energy are added to the national power grid, it becomes more complex to manage. That’s because renewables such as wind […]
