Towards resilient EU HPC systems: A blueprint
(2020-04)
Research report
Open AccessThis document aims to spearhead a Europe-wide discussion on HPC system resilience and to help the European HPC community define best practices for resilience. We analyse a wide range of state-of-the-art resilience mechanisms ... -
MetH: A family of high-resolution and variable-shape image challenges
(2019-11-20)
Research report
Open AccessHigh-resolution and variable-shape images have not yet been properly addressed by the AI community. The approach of down-sampling data often used with convolutional neural networks is sub-optimal for many tasks, and has ... -
Practical experience with Nebelung: the runtime support for transactional memory and OpenMP
(2007-08)
Research report
Open AccessTransactional Memory (TM) is a key future technology for emerging many-cores. On the other hand, OpenMP provides a vast established base for writing parallel programs, especially for scientific applications. Combining TM ... -
The MS-processor's register file timing and power evaluation
(2008-09)
Research report
Open AccessPower evaluation is an important issue in new proposal chip level architectures due to the big amount of power is dissipated as head and chips have limited head dissipation capacity. The evaluation shown in this technical ... -
Systolic implementation for deconvolution iterative algorithm
(1985)
Research report
Open AccessSystolic architectures implement regular algorithms in hardware, in order to obtain high computational throughput. In this paper we provide a modular architecture for a deconvolution iterative algorithm. The basic module ... -
The Mont-Blanc prototype: an alternative approach for high-performance computing systems
(2016)
Research report
Open AccessHigh-performance computing (HPC) is recognized as one of the pillars for further advance of science, industry, medicine, and education. Current HPC systems are being developed to overcome emerging challenges in order to ... -
Exploiting asynchrony from exact forward recovery for DUE in iterative solvers
(2015)
Research report
Open AccessThis paper presents a method to protect iterative solvers from Detected and Uncorrected Errors (DUE) relying on error detection techniques already available in commodity hardware. Detection operates at the memory page ... -
Commit on overflow
(2014)
Research report
Open AccessCurrent commercial CPUs have hardware support for speculative lock elision (SLE). SLE tries to elide the lock by speculatively executing lock protected critical section. If the speculation fails, SLE acquires the lock and ... -
Per-task energy accounting in computing systems
(2013)
Research report
Open AccessWe present for the first time the concept of per-task energy accounting (PTEA) and relate it to per-task energy metering (PTEM). We show the benefits of supporting both in future computing systems. Using the shared last-level ... -
CUsched: multiprogrammed workload scheduling on GPU architectures
(2013)
Research report
Open AccessGraphic Processing Units (GPUs) are currently widely used in High Performance Computing (HPC) applications to speed-up the execution of massively-parallel codes. GPUs are well-suited for such HPC environments because ... -
Solving matrix problems with no size restriction on a systolic array processor
(1986)
Research report
Open AccessIn this paper we propose several data structures partitioning and transformation schemes, in order to get an efficient execution of various matrix algorithms without any size resriction. The following matrix operations are ... -
Computing size-independent matrix problems on systolic array processors
(1985)
Research report
Open AccessA methodology to transform dense to banded matrices is presented in this paper. This transformation, is accomplished by triangular blocks partitioning, and allows the implementation of silutions to problems with any given ...
