Take a look at this nice video which explains advantages of GPU computing systems VS systems based on CPUs only. MythBusters hosts nailed it. This video is a Great start in the World of GPU Computing!
5 reasons to consider switching to Intel E5-2600 series CPUs starting from yesterday
On Mar 6, 2012 Intel announced new sever CPUs for dual-CPU platform – Sandy Bridge E5-2600-series in which by adding just 2 additional cores it made E5-2600 almost 2 times faster than the previous X5600 generation! How did they do it and why one should consider switching to E5-based system? Architecture difference between X5600 series and E5-2600 series Reason 1: … Continue reading
How to calculate theoretical peak performance of a CPU-based HPC system
To calculate theoretical peak performance of the HPC system we first need to calculate theoretical peak performance of one node (server) in GFLOPS and than just to multiply node performance on the number of nodes your HPC system has. HPC world is using the following formulae for node theoretical peak performance: Node performance in GFLOPS = (CPU speed in GHz) x … Continue reading
Some words about Efficiency
It has been a busy and productive period for NOVATTE. Our team just finished deployment of powerful GPU cluster for one of the Singapore Government agencies. The cluster built on new NVIDIA Tesla S2050 and NOVATTE Twin servers has the peak theoretical performance of 16 TFLOPS. The actual performance measured by the LINPACK Benchmark is 12.45 TFLOPS, providing efficiency coefficient … Continue reading
Welcome
Hi There! We are glad you stopped by. We are in the process of creating blog for NOVATTE. This blog will focus on issues, solutions and trends in high-performance computing (HPC) in Asia. Come back soon to exchange ideas on the topic, get insights and useful technical tips on different aspects of supercomputing.
