Scheduling to Overcome the Multi-Core Memory Bandwidth Bottleneck

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview Need more compute servers but don't have room for them? Or maybe one doesn't have enough electrical capacity to feed them, or enough cooling capacity? One is not alone. Multi-core processors may be the solution. However, while multi-core processors may solve many of the problems associated with compute cluster sprawl, they also present a new challenge: in some situations they cannot provide sufficient memory bandwidth per core to satisfy the requirements of certain HPC applications. This paper discusses methods to mitigate the effects of memory bandwidth limitations on modern multicore processors.

The Bloor Perspective: IBM and grid computing

The comparison and classification of proteins is a compute-heavy task. Even on an appropriately configured cluster of supercomputers it would probably take a decade. The best way to solve this problem is to assemble a big grid and see what problems...

IBM to sell supercomputing server

With the density levels you're starting to get today with blades and servers like the 575, fairly specialised power and cooling is once again coming to the forefront" of data centre operations, Haff said.

Apple, open source and SaaS tipped to be tech future

Also, with Vista, Microsoft has created an operating system that requires more hardware, while the trend for these devices are to use slower, more energy efficient processors, along with more limited capacity flash memory.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
