News & Dates

  • pre-course meeting: Friday, July 7th, 10:00-11:00 in MI 02.07.014

Description

The first generation of exascale supercomputers is expected for the first half of the 2020s. These machines will impose major challenges on simulation codes in order to run efficiently. Many challenges arise from the operation at the physical limits of the hardware and severe energy efficiency constraints. In this seminar, we will focus on the main challenges of exascale computing and discuss the approaches and building block for tackling these challenges.

Background: The seminar will (partly) discuss research executed in the collaborative research unit Invasive Computing funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the German priority programme SPPEXA funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the ExaHyPE Project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.


Topics

  • Fault Tolerance
  • Resource Aware Computing Concepts
  • Dark Silicon
  • Energy-Aware Computing in HPC
  • Heterogeneous Computing
  • MIC architecture (Xeon Phi)
  • MPI at Exascale
  • DSLs in HPC
  • Modelling vs. Automatic Tuning in HPC
  • Beyond MPI: New Runtime Systems for HPC
  • FPGAs for HPC
  • Exotic Hardware Architectures for HPC (e.g. Sunway TaihuLight)

Requirements

For successful completion of the seminar course you have to fulfil the following tasks:

  • solid understanding of your topic (e.g. by implementation of the underlying algorithm)
  • writing of a paper (IEEE double-column format, 5-10 pages, max 10 pages total)
  • presentation (30 min + discussion)
  • participation in the presentations of all other participants
  • deadlines: Paper final version submission: TBA
