The Route towards the ultimate network topology
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this talk I will try to summarize our quest for a realizable network topology that optimizes performance, cost, power consumption and partitionability. We have explored Fat Trees, Dragonflies, variations of dragonflies, ... -
Adaptive, efficient, parallel execution of parallel programs
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessFuture parallel processors will be heterogeneous, be increasingly less reliable, and operate in dynamically changing operating conditions. This will result in a constantly varying pool of hardware resources which can greatly ... -
VIPS: simple, efficient, and scalable cache coherence
(2016-09-10)
Research report
Open AccessDirectory-based cache coherence is the de-facto standard for scalable shared-memory multi/many-cores and significant effort is invested in reducing its overhead. However, directory area and complexity optimizations are ... -
Towards real-time CFD simulation of in-flight icing
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessDespite the concerted efforts of manufacturers and certification agencies, incidents and accidents continue to happen to aircraft certificated to “Fly Into Known Icing”, falsely thought of as being “immune to in-flight ... -
Semantically ordered parallel execution of multiprocessor programs
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessNondeterministic execution of conventional, multithreaded programs complicates multiprocessor programming and system use in general. To eliminate nondeterminism from multiprocessor programs, we propose an ordered approach. ... -
The Fourth paradigm - data-intensive scientific discovery and open science
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessThere is broad recognition within the scientific community that the ongoing deluge of scientific data is fundamentally transforming almost all areas of academic research. A wide variety of researchers —from scientists and ... -
Advances in GPU architecture for deep learning and scientific computing
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessThe talk will cover the recent NVIDIA product announcements made at the GTC'16 conference, and how the Pascal GPU and NVLink interconnect technologies greatly improve multi-GPU performance and efficiency in deep learning ... -
Semantic systems and visual tools to analyze climate change communication
(2016-09-10)
Research report
Open AccessGiven the intense attention that environmental topics such as climate change attract in news and social media coverage, key questions are how different stakeholders perceive observable threats and policy options, how public ... -
Talk 1: Convolutional neural networks against the curse of dimensionality
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessConvolutional Neural Networks are a powerful class of non-linear representations that have shown through numerous supervised learning tasks their ability to extract rich information from images, speech and text, with ... -
Talk 2: Recurrent neural nets and differentiable memory mechanism
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessThis past year, RNNs have seen a lot of attention as powerful models that are able to decode sequences from signals. The key component of such methods are the use of a recurrent neural network architecture that is trained ... -
Large-scale machine learning in cancer and brain research: new applications that will drive future supercomputing systems
(2016-09-10)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this talk I’ll discuss the DOE/NCI cancer research co-design projects that are a key part of the Presidential Moonshot Cancer Initiative and the brain connectome project at the heart of the National Brain Observatory ...
