暫譯: 當代高效能計算:從百拍到千拍,第二卷

Vetter, Jeffrey S.

商品描述

HPC is used to solve a number of complex questions in computational and data-intensive sciences. These questions include the simulation and modeling of physical phenomena, such as climate change, energy production, drug design, global security, and materials design; the analysis of large data sets such as those in genome sequencing, astronomical observation, and cybersecurity; and the intricate design of engineered products, such as airplanes and automobiles.



This second volume of Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale continues to document international HPC ecosystems, including the sponsors and sites that host them. Each chapter is punctuated with a site's flagship system and:





  • Presents highlights of applications, workloads, and benchmarks


  • Describes hardware architectures, system software, and programming systems


  • Explores storage, visualization, and analytics


  • Examines the data center/facility as well as system statistics


Featuring pictures of buildings and systems in production, floorplans, and many block diagrams and charts to illustrate system design and performance, Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale, Volume Two delivers a detailed snapshot of the rich history of practice in modern HPC. This book provides a valuable reference for researchers in HPC and computational science.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

HPC(高效能運算)用於解決計算和數據密集科學中的多個複雜問題。這些問題包括物理現象的模擬和建模,例如氣候變遷、能源生產、藥物設計、全球安全和材料設計;分析大型數據集,例如基因組測序、天文觀測和網絡安全;以及工程產品的複雜設計,例如飛機和汽車。

《當代高效能運算:從百拍到千拍(Contemporary High Performance Computing: From Petascale toward Exascale)》的第二卷繼續記錄國際HPC生態系統,包括贊助商和主辦這些系統的地點。每一章節都以某個地點的旗艦系統為重點,並且:

- 提供應用、工作負載和基準測試的亮點
- 描述硬體架構、系統軟體和程式設計系統
- 探討儲存、視覺化和分析
- 檢視數據中心/設施以及系統統計

《當代高效能運算:從百拍到千拍,第二卷》展示了生產中的建築和系統圖片、平面圖,以及許多方塊圖和圖表,以說明系統設計和性能,提供了現代HPC豐富實踐歷史的詳細快照。本書為HPC和計算科學的研究人員提供了寶貴的參考資料。
