Architectures for HPC/HPDA – a few trends and perspectives
The ARM ecosystem for scientific computing
Geraint NORTH, Architect, High Performance Ecosystem, ARM Ltd
High-performance, power-efficient 64-bit ARM cores are now commercially available from a variety of silicon vendors, with more SoC design choices on the way.
This session will cover recent developments in the 64-bit ARM hardware and software ecosystem that makes the ARMv8 architecture an increasingly viable basis for high-performance system designs.
Geraint will provide an update on the ARM HPC software ecosystem: compilers, numerical libraries, tools and parallel runtimes and also delve into a number of on-going, publicly funded HPC research projects and proof-of-concepts where ARM and its partners are collaborating in the pursuit of exascale computing.
