It’s multicore time. Do you know where your parallelism is? Do you know where your parallelism is? Well you better find it! This is because you must or your users will not see the doubling of performance that they have seen for the last seven or eight... more

After reading thru the previous blogs on HPC, someone might ask “What are some of the core components of HPC ?”. After all, once you’ve seen the outside of a Maserati or a Pantera DeTomaso, you’re not going to be satisfied just by ogling at it. Even after a test drive, the engineer in you will want to pop the hood and see what’s inside. Taking a similar approach let’s uncover some underlying HPC technologies... more

This usually occurs when I’m talking to someone new to cluster computing or someone who comes from a different tread of the industry than I do. My roots are in a thread that used number crunching to mean serious floating point arithmetic done... more
