An email I got through the SIAM mailing list : Graduate and undergraduate students from all disciplines who are interested in using parallel computers efficiently and productively are invited to register for a FREE online course sponsored by the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE / xsede.org The online course is an adaptation of the class Applications of Parallel Computers taught by professor Jim Demmel at U.C. … Continue reading XSEDE offers a parallel computing course
It seems that at last, the two main communities that design commercial GPU accelerated toolboxes for Matlab, Mathworks & AccelerEyes, have agreed to share knowledge and expertise. Quoting from the AccelerEyes blog We are pleased to announce today that MathWorks and AccelerEyes have started working together to provide the best overall solution for GPU computing in MATLAB® through the Parallel Computing Toolbox™ and MATLAB Distributed Computing Server™ from MathWorks. … Continue reading AccelerEyes + Mathworks for a better parallel computing toolbox
This cool project is supposed to bring parallel computing to everyone, with a little board that right now costs about $100. Check out this project and the benchmarks Adapteva has done here. And hurry up, only 53 hours to go. 😀 Continue reading Check out the parallela board on Kickstarter
As most of you will be aware by now, NASA’s curiosity was able to successfully land on Mars. This article from Wired explains how it’s processor is being shielded from the radiation and the bit-flips that it can cause in it’s RAM. It seems that bit-flipping is something that happens everyday to big supercomputers, although they are protected by ECC (error correcting code). I always … Continue reading How does curiosity’s processor shield itself from the environment ?
