Hardware Evaluation Analytical Modeling and Node Simulation: Benefits of Tighter GPU Integration

In this report, we examine several emerging technologies of interest to the Department of Energy and its computational centers. These include: 1) quantifying the benefit of tighter CPU-GPU integration, 2) quantifying the appropriate CPU core:GPU ratio, 3) quantifying the penalty for CPU-GPU disaggregation, 4) quantifying the benefits of tighter GPU-GPU integration, 5) quantifying the benefits of unified memory, and 6) quantifying the benefits of tighter FPGA-GPU integration.

Evaluating Trade-offs in Potential Exascale Interconnect Technologies

This report details work to study trade-offs in topology and network bandwidth for potential interconnects in the exascale (2021-2022) timeframe. The work was done using multiple interconnect models across two parallel discrete event simulators. Results from each independent simulator are shown and discussed and the areas of agreement and disagreement are explored.
