A number of different frameworks and standards can be employed for parallel coding. The choice of the most suitable depends on the purpose of the application, its overall requirements and the target execution environment. Selecting the right framework is imperative to obtaining the best possible performance increase. The choice of framework is based on the available memory, overheads, controls and support.

insideHPC Research Report on In-Memory Computing
December 23, 2016 by Leave a Comment
To achieve high performance, modern computer systems rely on two basic methodologies to scale resources. A scale-up design that allows multiple cores to share a large global pool of memory and a scale-out design design that distributes data sets across the memory on separate host systems in a computing cluster.

Fujitsu developed the first Japanese supercomputer in 1977. In the thirty-plus years since then, we have been leading the development of supercomputers with the application of advanced technologies. We now introduce the PRIMEHPC FX10, a state-of-the-art supercomputer that makes the petascale computing achieved by the “K computer”(*1) more accessible.
Parallel Storage Solutions for Better Performance
August 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Using high performance parallel storage solutions, geologists and researchers can now incorporate larger data sets and execute more seismic and reservoir simulations faster than ever before, enabling higher fidelity geological analysis and significantly reduced exploration risk. With high costs of exploration, oil and gas companies are increasingly turning to high performance DDN storage solutions to eliminate I/O bottlenecks, minimize risk and costs, while delivering a larger number of higher fidelity simulations in same time as traditional storage architectures.

The use of Co-Design and offloading are important tools in achieving Exascale computing. Application developers and system designers can take advantage of network offload and emerging co-design protocols to accelerate their current applications. Adopting some basic co-design and offloading methods to smaller scale systems can achieve more performance on less hardware resulting in low cost and higher throughput.
