High Performance Computing on SIMD Cards
Prof Mike Giles, Oxford University Computing Laboratory
10th October 2007, 3:30-4:30pm Room 1:10, Kilburn Building
Abstract:
While Intel and others are developing general purpose processors with multiple independent cores, companies like nVidia and Clearspeed are developing cards with specialised chips with a very large number of SIMD cores, all carrying out the same operations simultaneously but with different data. In this talk, I will begin with a brief survey of the latest developments in MIMD and SIMD chips, and then discuss our recent experience in implementing a trivially parallel financial Monte Carlo application on the nVidia and Clearspeed cards.
