0946441浏览器该提案将使用2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）提供的资金进行奖励。该项目将运行一个小型实验GPU集群，该集群为从事格场理论（LFT）和计算流体动力学（CFD）的应用物理学家和应用数学家配置。研究目标是开发新的算法和编程策略，以充分发挥新兴众核技术的潜力，并在图形处理单元上的生产应用程序代码中实现这些算法。借助Nvidias CUDA框架和广泛支持的OpenCL标准，此类架构非常适合并行科学应用。 该项目将专注于重新思考底层算法，以将其正确映射到硬件，重点是并行使用多个GPU。

0946441BrowerThis proposal will be awarded using funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This project will operate a small experimental GPU cluster configured for application physicists and applied mathematicians working in Lattice Field Theory (LFT) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The research goal is to develop new algorithms and programming strategies to fully realize the potential of emerging many-core technologies,as well as to implement these algorithms in production application codes on Graphical Processing Units.With Nvidias CUDA framework and the widely-supported OpenCL standard, such architectures appear eminently suited for parallel scientific applications. The project will focus on rethinking the underlying algorithms to properly map them to the hardware, with an emphasis on employing many GPUs in parallel.
