Demystifying NCCL: An In-depth Analysis of GPU Communication Protocols and Algorithms
The NVIDIA Collective Communication Library (NCCL) is a critical software layer enabling high-performance collectives on large-scale GPU clusters. Despite being open source with a documented API, i…
How to Build a Quantum Supercomputer
In the span of four decades, quantum computation has evolved from an intellectual curiosity to a potentially realizable technology. Today, small-scale demonstrations have become possible for...
HPC Gets A Reconfigurable Dataflow Engine To Take On CPUs And GPUs
No matter how elegant and clever the design is for a compute engine, the difficulty and cost of moving existing – and sometimes very old – code from the
Companies Need On-Premise HPC – And For More Than AI, Too
Generative AI and the various capacity and latency needs it has for compute and storage is muscling out almost every other topic when conversations turn
One Cerebras Wafer Beats An Exascale Super At Molecular Dynamics
We think that waferscale computing is an interesting and even an inevitable concept for certain kinds of compute and memory. But inevitably, the work you
Los Alamos Pushes The Memory Wall With “Venado” Supercomputer
Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the “Venado” supercomputer, which was hinted at back in April 2021 when Nvidia announced its plans for its first
Why You Should Consider Using Fortran As A Data Scientist
An exploration of the benefits that Fortran can bring to Data Science and Machine Learning
The Skills Gap For Fortran Looms Large In HPC
Back in the dawn of time, which is four decades ago in computer science and which was before technical computing went mainstream with the advent of Unix
Is This The End Of The Line For NEC Vector Supercomputers?
Updated: There is some chatter – some might call it well-informed speculation – going on out there on the Intertubes that Japanese system maker NEC is
Statistical Computing With Graphics Processing Units
This thesis consists of two main projects and a third project which is provided in the appendix. The contribution of the first project, is a tool set for parallel random number gen- eration on GPUs…
Towards a Benchmarking Suite for Kernel Tuners
As computing system become more complex, it is becoming harder for programmers to keep their codes optimized as the hardware gets updated. Autotuners try to alleviate this by hiding as many archite…
More CPU Cores Isn’t Always Better, Especially In HPC
If a few cores are good, then a lot of cores ought to be better. But when it comes to HPC this isn’t always the case, despite what the Top500 ranking –
