ZIH Colloquium - Application Performance on Many-Core Platforms

Application Performance on Many-Core Platforms
We will give an overview of research projects of our department and present recent results of our activities within the Intel Parallel Computing Center (IPCC) at ZIB and related projects. The overall theme is our interest to achieve optimal applications performance on HPC platforms. We discuss the associated challenges to achieve an efficient use of the compute resources and our approaches for improving the performance of scientific workloads.
Thomas Steinke heads the Supercomputing dept. at ZIB. He received his Doctorate in 1990 from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin working in the field of theoretical chemistry. His research interest is in HPC, heterogeneous systems, and state-of-the-art simulation methods. Thomas leads the IPCC at ZIB since 2013 and was co-founder of OpenFPGA in 2004.
