NVIDIA’s new Tesla P100 PCI-E GPU is a big step up for HPC users, and for GPU users in general. Although other workloads have been leveraging the newer “Maxwell” architecture, HPC applications have been using “Kepler” GPUs…
Now that NVIDIA has launched their new Pascal GPUs, the next question is “What is the Tesla P100 Price?” Although it’s still a month or two before shipments of P100 start, the specifications and pricing of Microway’s…
One blog post may not be enough to present all tips for performance acceleration using OpenACC.So here, more tips on OpenACC acceleration are provided, complementing our previous blog post on accelerating code with OpenACC. Further tips discussed…
If you’ve been reading the press this year, you’ve probably seen mention of deep learning or machine learning. You’ve probably gotten the impression they can do anything and solve every problem. It’s true that computers can be…
Over the past decade, and particularly over the past several years, Deep learning applications have been developed for a wide range of scientific and engineering problems. For example, deep learning methods have recently increased the level of…
NVIDIA has announced a new version of their popular Tesla M40 GPU – one with 24GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory. The name hasn’t really changed – the new GPU is named NVIDIA Tesla M40 24GB. If you…
Today we begin shipping Intel’s new Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors. They provide more CPU cores, more cache, faster memory access and more efficient operation. These are based upon the Intel microarchitecture code-named “Broadwell” – we expect them…
This week I had the opportunity to run the STREAM memory benchmark on a Microway 2U NumberSmasher server which supports up to 3 DIMMs per channel. In practice, this system is typically configured with 768GB or 1.5TB…
Comprised of a set of compiler directives, OpenACC was created to accelerate code using the many streaming multiprocessors (SM) present on a GPU. Similar to how OpenMP is used for accelerating code on multicore CPUs, OpenACC can…
With the release of Tesla M40, NVIDIA continues to diversify its professional compute GPU lineup. Designed specifically for Deep Learning applications, the M40 provides 7 TFLOPS of single-precision floating point performance and 12GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory.…
