Memory systems for HPC

Primary tabs

High performance computing (HPC) is recognized as a driving force for innovation in science and technology. HPC clusters are indispensable tools for research, development, and analysis in many fields of science and engineering. HPC is a global market funded by industry, financial institutions, governments, defense, and academia, with high revenues that are expected to grow in...

Limited instruction level parallelism and the power wall motivated the design of chip multiprocessor (CMP) architectures. In CMP architectures, the transistors provided by the technology improvement are used to build multiple processing engines that can simultaneously execute several (numerous) software threads. CMP processors deliver superior performance (throughput) and...
