A PLatform for GPGPU Investigations

HPC行业的发展正处于一个关键点：GPU加速架构现在出现在世界各地的主流设施中。这种系统包含了那些对于允许接近Exascale非常重要的基本特性。然而，硬件的限制对程序员提出了挑战：有效利用可用的处理能力通常只可能用于真实的应用程序后，作出重大调整。使用测试平台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，并为未来的应用做好准备。

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.
