Abstract
Summary form only given. Large powerful networks coupled to state-of-the-art processors have traditionally dominated supercomputing. As technology advances, this approach is likely to be challenged by a more cost-effective System-On-A-Chip approach, with higher levels of system integration. The scalability of applications to architectures with tens to hundreds of thousands of processors is critical to the success of this approach. Significant progress has been made in mapping numerous compute-intensive applications, many of them grand challenges, to parallel architectures. Applications hoping to efficiently execute on future supercomputers of any architecture must be coded in a manner consistent with an enormous degree of parallelism. The BG/L program is developing a peak nominal 180 TFLOPS (360 TFLOPS for some applications) supercomputer to serve a broad range of science applications. BG/L generalizes QCDOC, the first System-On-A-Chip supercomputer that is expected in 2003. BG/L consists of 65,536 nodes, and contains five integrated networks: a 3D torus, a combining tree, a Gb Ethernet network, barrier/global interrupt network and JTAG.
只提供摘要形式。传统上,强大的大型网络和最先进的处理器一直主导着超级计算。随着技术的进步,这种方法可能会受到更具成本效益、具有更高系统集成水平的system - on - a - chip方法的挑战。应用程序对具有数万到数十万个处理器的体系结构的可伸缩性对于这种方法的成功至关重要。在将大量计算密集型应用程序映射到并行体系结构方面已经取得了重大进展,其中许多应用程序具有重大挑战。希望在未来任何体系结构的超级计算机上有效执行的应用程序必须以一种与高度并行性一致的方式进行编码。BG/L计划正在开发峰值标称180 TFLOPS(某些应用为360 TFLOPS)的超级计算机,以服务于广泛的科学应用。BG/L是QCDOC的总称,QCDOC是预计于2003年推出的第一台单片系统超级计算机。BG/L由65,536个节点组成,包含5个集成网络:3D环面、组合树、Gb以太网、屏障/全局中断网络和JTAG。
