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.

高性能计算行业的发展正处于关键时刻：GPU加速架构现在出现在世界各地的主流设施中。这样的系统包含了那些对接近百亿亿次级计算机很重要的基本特征。然而，硬件的限制给程序员带来了挑战：有效利用可用的处理能力通常只有在进行了重大调整之后才有可能用于实际应用程序。访问测试平台GPU加速资源将使研究人员能够获得这种颠覆性架构的重要经验，并为未来的应用程序做好准备。
