At the SC11 supercomputing conference, the Intel Exascience Lab released Sniper, our fast and accurate multi-core simulator, as open source. It is available for download at http://snipersim.org and can be used freely for academic research. Sniper is a next generation parallel, high-speed and accurate x86-64 simulator. This multi-core simulator is based on the interval core [...]
We are happy to announce that the paper Improving the arithmetic intensity of multigrid with the help of polynomial smoothers (by Pieter Ghysels, Przemysław Kłosiewicz and Wim Vanroose) was accepted at the 15th Copper Mountain Conference on Multigrid Methods. The full paper can be found in our publications section, but here is its abstract: The [...]
Pascal Costanza, a member of the ExaScience Lab, presented our work in progress on resilient work stealing at the Intel Software Professionals Conference 2011, an Intel-internal event that took place in Shannon, Ireland on October 19, 2011.
Five members of the lab, Karl Meerbergen, Dirk Roose, Wim Vanroose, Przemyslaw Klosiewicz and Pieter Ghysels will be attending the Thirty-sixth Woudschoten Conference, an event organized by the Dutch Research Community Scientific Computing. Przemyslaw Klosiewicz will be presenting a poster on “Increasing the computational intensity of stencil calculations: memory bandwidth vs CPU speed”.
In a previous newsflash we informed you that the paper “Using Cycle Stacks to Understand Scaling Bottlenecks in Multi-Threaded Workloads” (Wim Heirman, Trevor Carlson, Shuai Che, Kevin Skadron, Lieven Eeckhout ) was accepted at the 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization. You can now find this paper in our publication section. Happy reading!
