HPCI systems research is a critical activity in the ASU HPC group. Ongoing projects include Dynamic Virtual Clustering in conjunction with Cluster Resources, Inc. and a new toolset for highly parallel signal processing in conjunction with Pentum Group, Inc. and the US Airforce.
Upcoming generations of processors will pack tens of processor's onto a single silicon chip. HPC systems composed of these chips will in 3-4 years be capable of executing hundreds of thousands of simultaneous threads of a single program. In this project, the infrastructure required for programmiprogramming at this scale is being created, including debuggers, compiler extensions, and run-time support. Currently in development is the Offline Parallel Debugger. Researcher: Dan Stanzione. Collaborators: Intel Corporation, University of New Mexico.
The Fulton HPC Initiative applies its knowledge of HPC practices and methodologies to help develop a wide range of HPC applications in conjunction with faculty around campus, ranging from traditional computationally-intensive areas, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics and Advanced Materials, to non-traditional HPC areas such as Urban Sustainability through Digital Phoenix project and Public Policy Informatics.
The Fulton HPC Initiative supplies computational capabilities to many researchers at ASU. This is a sampling of visualizations from a few of the problems researchers are solving with HPCI systems.
