Petascale Computing Research Challenges - A Manycore Perspective

Summary form only given. Future high performance computing will undoubtedly reach Petascale and beyond. Today´s HPC is tomorrow´s personal computing. What are the evolving processor architectures towards multi-core and many-core for the best performance per watt; memory bandwidth solutions to feed the ever more powerful processors; intra-chip interconnect options for optimal bandwidth vs. power? With Moore´s Law continuing to prove its viability and shrinking transistors´ geometry, improving reliability is even more challenging. Intel Senior Fellow and Chief Technology Officer of Intel´s Digital Enterprise Group, Steve Pawlowski, will provide his technology vision, insight and research challenges to achieve the vision of Petascale computing and beyond
