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…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
In this Caffe deep learning tutorial, we will show how to use DIGITS in order to train a classifier on a small image set. Along the way, we’ll see how to adjust certain run-time parameters, such as…
Recently, while carrying out memory testing in our integration lab, Lead Systems Integrator, Rick Warner, was able to clearly identify when it is appropriate to choose load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMM) and when it is appropriate to choose registered…
At Microway we design a lot of GPU computing systems. One of the strengths of GPU-compute is the flexibility PCI-Express bus. Assuming the server has appropriate power and thermals, it enables us to attach GPUs with no special…
We know that many of our readers are interested in seeing how molecular dynamics applications perform with GPUs, so we are continuing to highlight various packages. This time we will be looking at GROMACS, a well-established and free-to-use…
MATLAB is a well-known and widely-used application – and for good reason. It functions as a powerful, yet easy-to-use, platform for technical computing. With support for a variety of parallel execution methods, MATLAB also performs well. Support…
