GPU or Many Core – The Two Swim LanesNot that Simple
Headlines like “Intel Declares War on GPUs at Disputed HPC, AI Border” and “Intel Details AI Hardware Strategy for Post-GPU Age” ignore the benefit that this behemoth tussle has for users of High Performance compute and industry in general.
Performing complex algorithmic compute, AI and deep learning is no longer the preserve of those with big budgets. Access to small and midsize clusters utilising many core and GPU will enable small business & individuals to drive innovation.
At SC16 there were few ground-breaking announcements but what we have seen over the year is the general availability of some of the key new technologies and the GREEN500 has already seen 4 of the TOP 5 systems running NVIDIA® Tesla® P100 or Intel® Xeon Phi™.
Intel Xeon Phi Product Roadmap
An Overview of the Intel Xeon Phi x200
The Top-Bin 7290, 72 Core, delivers 3.46 Peak DP TFLOPS • 14 nm, over 8 billion transistors and is the largest Intel Chip ever made• There are 36 tiles on the chip that are interconnected by a 2D Mesh• Each Tile has 2 Cores + 2 VPU/core & 1MB L2 Cache• Each processor has 16 GB MCDRAM (Near Memory) at >400 GB/sec • Up to 384GB DDR4 at approx. 90 GB/sec
Intel Xeon Phi x200 Processor SKU Stack
November 2016 – Top500
Use CasesBerkley Cori – From climate change to material science. Looking for new energy sources. Working on energy efficiency. Studying realistic interfaces in organic photovoltaics. Allowing calculation of 2-5 times larger problems than has been possible prior.
Rutgers Caliburn – Enabling research in computational and data-enabled science, engineering and medicine, as well social science and humanities projects.
Machine Learning, allowing vast amounts of data to be ingested so that the accuracy of the result is improved. The ability to run OpenMPI, MPI and TBB to reduce the timeframes to implement. Common programming model & S/W tools with Xeon processors, enabling efficient app readiness and performance tuning.
