Daniel Kleine-Albers: Exascale Computing Technology Challenges
The talk starts with a review of the changes Exascale Computing involves, in particular the much higher level of instructions per second and the increased level of parallelism within the nodes. It then moves on to the challenges that arise from these changes, especially the energy consumption and the bandwidth limitations of interconnects. The last part contains some possible solutions including a different approach to chip design as well as new optical switches to be used for interconnection.
