HPC Community Challenges? • Just a few of the problems – Conventional Technology, for example CMOS – Architectural obstacles, such as “Memory Walls” – And of course, Moore’s Law • Computation problems are evolving – Data is becoming “bigger” and increasingly complex

HPC State of the Art • Very capable processors – Many/Multicore processors • Clustered

HPC State of the Art • Very capable processors – Many/Multicore processors • Clustered computer systems • Specialized Processors/Logic – ASIC/FPGA devices • Exotic technologies

SOC’s are interesting! • SOC’s are not a new idea – Chipsets, – Embedded

SOC’s of Today • We are surrounded by SOC devices • Consider the cell phone industry… – Recall our “four metrics” • Consumers area always demanding more – Industry that is motivated to deliver!

Moving Toward a HPC-SOC • Most of the technology exists to do this already

Moving Toward a HPC-SOC • Most of the technology exists to do this already • Understanding the recipe for an SOC to best serve the HPC community • Modeling/Simulation tools – SOC’s S/N 1 -1000 will be expensive – SOC’s S/N 1000+ are probably going to be a lot cheaper! – Getting the design as right as possible is a good idea

Other challenges… • Algorithms • Development tools – Software models – Compilers • Operating
