K1.2-B Hardware Architectures
Background
Aim
- To provide knowledge about parallel computer architectures, in particular: the distinction between shared and distributed memory systems
m
Outcomes
- elementary processing elements like CPUs, GPUs, many core architectures
- vector systems, and FPGAs
- the NUMA architecture used for symmetric multiprocessing systems where the memory access time depends on the memory location relative to the processor
- network demands for HPC systems (e.g. high bandwidth and low latency)
- typical network architectures used for HPC systems, like fast Ethernet (1 or 10 Gbit) or InfiniBand
