NVIDIA debuted its much-talked-about Kepler GPU this week, promising much better performance and energy efficiency than its previous generation Fermi-based products. The first offerings are mid-range graphics cards targeted at the heart of the desktop and notebook market, nevertheless the more powerful second-generation Kepler GPU for high performance computing is already in the pipeline.Read more...

There are several approaches being developed to program heterogeneous systems, nevertheless none of them have proven to successfully address the real goal. This article will discuss a range of potentially interesting heterogeneous systems for high performance computing, why programming them is hard, and why developing a high level programming model is even harder.Read more...

In high performance computing, Hewlett-Packard is best known for supplying bread-and-butter HPC systems, built with standard processors and interconnects. Nevertheless the company's innovation arm has been devising a manycore chipset, which would outrun the average-sized HPC cluster of today. The design represents a radical leap in performance, and if implemented, would fulfill the promise of exascale computing.Read more...
