Скачать или смотреть Navigating the Post-Exascale Computing Era: GPUs, Analog Computing, and AI by Jeffrey Vetter

DOE has deployed its first three Exascale systems, so now is an appropriate time to think about post-Exascale challenges and opportunities. GPUs were just the beginning of architectural disruption. Focusing on both performance and energy efficiency, we are seeing a wide array of new technologies emerge during this ‘golden age of architectures,’ making the choices of architectures, software, and applications existential. In this talk, I will survey post-Exascale technologies and discuss their implications for both system design and software. As an example, I will delve into analog computing as one alternative to dramatically improve energy efficiency. Meanwhile, the extraordinary disruption offered by AI may provide ways to mitigate these software and algorithmic challenges. Our team is exploring how AI can be used to port software to new architectures and transform legacy programming languages to contemporary programming systems.
