Accelerators for High Performance Computing Investigation
Overview For many years microprocessor single thread performance has increased at rates consistent with Moore's Law for transistors. In the 1970s-1990s the improvement was mostly obtained by increasing clock frequencies. Clock speeds are now improving slowly and microprocessor vendors are increasing the number of cores per chip to obtain improved performance. This approach is not allowing microprocessors to increase single thread performance at the rates customers have come to expect. After numerous customer requests for more information, a group was formed within HP's High Performance Computing Division to investigate some of these approaches.
