HPC Drives Life Science Research at Texas Supercomputing Center
Life science accounts for a key segment of the 3,000 research scientists in astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, aerospace engineering, petroleum engineering and geosciences using the Stampede supercomputer system at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at the University of Texas, Austin. “Oscar” Jiao, the center’s life science computing specialist, recently …
Book Review: “Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor High-Performance Programming”
Tackling the complex topic of parallel programming for a high-performance machine such as the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor might seem like a terrifying ordeal. But authors Jim Jeffers and James Reinders provide a logical, manageable, and real-world approach to the task. Parallel programming isn’t for the faint of heart. …
Parallel Thinking: Make Chess More Human
It is the holy grail of cognitive computing: get software to imitate human brain functioning. Most visionary computer scientists such as Douglas Hofstadter and Ray Kurzweil posit that the ability of humans to think parallel threads is a big part of what makes our cognition function the way it …
Parallel Prediction Retrains Neural Networks
Here’s how it usually happens: Neural networks are trained, and an application uses them to make decisions. Unfortunately, this overlooks the real-life fact that circumstances change, invalidating network training. What makes the situation particularly serious is that retraining a network takes time and may not be practical for real-time …
Programming for Parallel: Start Right, Start Now
The Xeon Phi coprocessor might not be inside every computer yet, but eventually it will be common. Programming for parallel requires some new understanding and approaches. This week Jeff Cogswell gives you some introductory concepts on this game-changing coprocessor. Most of us don’t yet have a Xeon Phi coprocessor …
New Intel Processor Models Due Soon
Intel recently published its internal 2013-2014 roadmap for Xeon processors and Xeon Phi coprocessors. Based on the chip giant’s official announcements, plus details revealed in its roadmap, here’s what’s upcoming in Atom, Core, Xeon and Xeon Phi. The big picture: By the end of 2013, all modern Intel processors will …
Improving Your Coding AND Professional Craft
Becoming a better parallel coder can also make you smarter in your professional field, according to Michael D’Mello, Program Manager, Tools Immersion Program at Intel. Increasing mastery of programming tools not only ups your development game, but over time can become “an integral part of your workflow and thought …
Software without coding – Parallel Boon?
For the last eight years, the Programming Without Coding Technology project has been working on ways of developing, well, programming without coding. The initiative’s General-Purpose Visual Programming tool is aimed for clue-free newbies, expert developers and everyone in between. Interesting, but doubly so because of how the effort might …
Meeting New Challenges of Scaling Parallelism Across and Within Cores
With today’s powerful new multi-core processors, if you’re not vectorizing – breaking data into chunks – you risk leaving 8x or 16X of Intel Xeon Phi’s theoretical peak power on the table and not scaling code efficiently. The solution, according to Intel’s Ron Green, is for programmers to start …
Embedded Goes Parallel
Embedded designers have traditionally made scant use of “extra” cores of Atom and other chips. The exception: offloading easily parallelized, compute-intensive tasks, such as background data compression of large files before storage. But strong consumer demand for smarter devices and wider proliferation of parallel processing techniques is changing all …
