[san-tech][03204] Graph 500 Complete Results - June 2011公開
------------------------------------------------
Intel Xeonと FPGAを組み合わせた異色の Hybrid Core Computerの Convey社
Convey HC-1exが Graph 500で良い成績を収めたので、それに合わせての
Slidecastです。
まずは Graph 500関連プレスリリース:
"Convey Computer Announces Graph 500 Performance"
June 16, 2011
http://www.conveycomputer.com/Resources/Convey_Graph_500_Performance.pdf
http://www.hpcwire.com/hpcwire/2011-06-16/convey_computer_announces_graph_500_performance.html
※↑ HTML版
"Convey Computer announced today that the company has joined the
ranks of the world's most powerful computer systems for
data-intensive computing with its performance on the Graph 500
benchmark. The performance of a single Convey HC-1ex node is 773
million traversed edges per second (MTEPS) on a problem of
scale 27."
Complete Results November 2010, Graph 500
http://www.graph500.org/Results.html
では、Problem Size: Scale 27 (Toy+) のエントリーは
Jaguar (Cray XT5-HE, 512 node subset): 800 MTEPS,
Implementation: Reference
だけです(トータルエントリーは 9)。
2011年 6月版は Top500と一緒に発表となっています。
この件に関して、
"最近の話題 2011年6月18日", Ando's Processor Information Page
http://www.geocities.jp/andosprocinfo/wadai11/20110618.htm
2.ConveyがGraph 500ベンチマークで773MTEPSを達成
で詳しく解説しています。
"当初のHC-1はXilinxのVertex5を4個搭載していたのですが,HC-1exでは
Vertex6を4個になっています。これらのFPGAには各2個のメモリコントローラ
を内蔵し,DIMMを4ストリングサポートしています。従って,FPGAアクセラ
レータ全体では16DIMMチャネルを並列にアクセスできるので,Graph 500の
ようにメモリのあちこちをランダムにアクセスするような用途では性能を
発揮します。"
Graph 500一般に関しては
