A PLatform for GPGPU Investigations

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The evolution of the HPC industry is at a pivotal point: GPU accelerated architectures are now appearing in mainstream facilities around the world. Such systems incorporate those fundamental characteristics important for allowing an approach to the Exascale. However, constraints of the hardware present challenges for the programmer: efficient utilisilisation of the available processing capability is typically only possible for real applications after significant adaptations are made. Access to a testbed GPU accelerated resource will allow researchers to gain vital experience with this disruptive architecture and prepare their applications for the future.
