I/UCRC Phase II: Center for Hybrid Multicore Productivity Research

马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校(UMBC)、加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)和犹他大学(U Utah)正在寻求对多机构I/UCRC混合多核生产率研究(CHMPR)进行第二阶段更新。CHMPR在第二阶段计划专注于国家优先问题，如卫生IT、气候变化、大脑和多潜能细胞成像、材料基因组学和人类想象力的大数据分析。它将进行研究，以优化交互式数字媒体和数据密集型并行计算范例的应用程序的可扩展性、性能和生产力，这些范例都与混合多核集群上的行业咨询委员会成员直接相关。CHMPR将有助于开发高效的混合多核计算科学应用程序。它将提高对受限并行处理算法的理解，并为学术研究人员提供访问大型混合多核系统的途径，以解决在这些体系结构上获得应用程序的最佳性能所面临的挑战。CHMPR将通过提供对数值公式、应用程序结构的基本了解，以及在本地处理器内存和高速缓存的限制下将已知单线程算法从多个处理器映射到底层混合多核架构的能力，进一步帮助应对这些挑战。分别位于UMBC、UCSD和U Utah的联合计算设施将为行业顾问委员会成员提供访问大学试验台的机会，这些试验台由一些最先进和多样化的计算技术和健康与气候方面的大数据集组成。CHMPR将为教师和学生提供机会，在健康、气候变化、生物医学信息学、3-D图形环境和使用社交媒体减灾等领域的各种混合多核应用程序中获得实践研究专业知识。随着计算机行业发展其混合多核处理器技术，通过满足行业顾问委员会成员的未来需求，该中心将为美国在高性能计算领域的领导地位做出贡献。CHMPR网站将把混合多核计算纳入学生的核心课程课程，以解决行业应用问题。学生还将有机会与业界实习，该中心将教育学生如何利用数万个多核处理器提供的并行性来解决各种应用程序。

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the University of Utah (U Utah) are pursuing a Phase II renewal of the multi-institution I/UCRC for Hybrid Multicore Productivity Research (CHMPR). CHMPR, in Phase II, plans to focus on problems of national priority such as Big Data Analytics for Health IT, Climate Change, Brain and Pluripotent Cell Imaging, Material Genomics and the Human Imagination. It will conduct research to optimize the scalability, performance and productivity of applications to Interactive Digital Media and Data Intensive Parallel Computing Paradigms which are all of direct relevance to industry advisory board members on hybrid multicore clusters. CHMPR will contribute towards development of efficient hybrid multicore computational science applications. It will improve the understanding of constrained parallel processing algorithms, and provide academic researchers access to large hybrid multicore systems to address the challenges in obtaining peak performance of applications on these architectures. CHMPR will further assist in addressing these challenges by providing fundamental understanding of the numerical formulation, structure of the applications and the ability to map known single threaded algorithms from multiple processors onto the underlying hybrid multicore architectures under limitations on local processor memory, and cache. The combined computing facilities at UMBC, UCSD and U Utah respectively, will offer industry advisory board members access to university testbeds consisting of some of the most advanced and diverse computing technologies and Big Data sets in Health and Climate. There is a large demand to explore the application and scalability of such hybrid multicore architectures.CHMPR will provide faculty and students the opportunity to gain hands-on research expertise in a wide variety of hybrid multicore applications in areas of Health, Climate Change, Biomedical Informatics, 3-D Graphic Environments and the use of Social Media for Disaster mitigation. By addressing the future needs of industry advisory board members as the computer industry evolves its hybrid multicore processor technology, the center will contribute towards US leadership in HPC. CHMPR sites will incorporate hybrid multicore computing into their core course curricula for students to address the industry applications. The students will also have the opportunity for internships with industry and the center will educate students how to take advantage of the parallelism offered by tens of thousands of multicore processors to solve a variety of applications.
