The hybrid/heterogeneous nature of future microprocessors and large
high-performance computing systems will result in a reliance on two
major types of components: multicore/manycore central processing
units and special purpose hardware/massively parallel accelerators.
While these technologies have numerous benefits, they also pose
substantial performance challenges for developers, including
scalability, software tuning, and programming issues. Researchers
at the Forefront Reveal Results from Their Own State-of-the-Art
Work Edited by some of the top researchers in the field and with
contributions from a variety of international experts, Scientific
Computing with Multicore and Accelerators focuses on the
architectural design and implementation of multicore and manycore
processors and accelerators, including graphics processing units
(GPUs) and the Sony Toshiba IBM (STI) Cell Broadband Engine (BE)
currently used in the Sony PlayStation 3. The book explains how
numerical libraries, such as LAPACK, help solve computational
science problems; explores the emerging area of hardware-oriented
numerics; and presents the design of a fast Fourier transform (FFT)
and a parallel list ranking algorithm for the Cell BE. It covers
stencil computations, auto-tuning, optimizations of a computational
kernel, sequence alignment and homology, and pairwise computations.
The book also evaluates the portability of drug design applications
to the Cell BE and illustrates how to successfully exploit the
computational capabilities of GPUs for scientific applications. It
concludes with chapters on dataflow frameworks, the Charm++
programming model, scan algorithms, and a portable intracore
communication framework. Explores the New Computational Landscape
of Hybrid Processors By offering insight into the process of
constructing and effectively using the technology, this volume
provides a thorough and practical introduction to the area of
hybrid computing. It discusses introductory concepts and simple
examples of parallel computing, logical and performance debugging
for parallel computing, and advanced topics and issues related to
the use and building of many applications.
