Snapify: capturing snapshots of offload applications on Xeon Phi manycore processors

In Proceedings of the 23nd international symposium on High-performance parallel and distributed computing (HPDC ’14). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 1-12. Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors provide excellent performance acceleration for highly parallel applications and have been deployed in several top-ranking supercomputers. One popular approach of programming the Xeon Phi is the offload model, where parallel … Continue reading Snapify: capturing snapshots of offload applications on Xeon Phi manycore processors →

COSMIC: middleware for high performance and reliable multiprocessing on Xeon Phi coprocessors

In Proceedings of the 22nd international symposium on High-performance parallel and distributed computing (HPDC ’13). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 215-226. It is remarkably easy to offload processing to Intel’s newest manycore coprocessor, the Xeon Phi: it supports a popular ISA (x86-based), a popular OS (Linux) and a popular programming model (OpenMP). Easy portability is … Continue reading COSMIC: middleware for high performance and reliable multiprocessing on Xeon Phi coprocessors →

Time flows inexorably

It is one year since my last post. I don't have too much to tell, I wanted just to mark time.

I'm the science (aka my first publication)

In these last days my first paper had been published. The title of the paper is "A GPGPU Transparent Virtualization Component for High Performance Computing Clouds". It's an article about gVirtuS: the implementation, the usage and a comparison with other software that aim to accomplish to do the same job (seriously in the real world … Continue reading I'm the science (aka my first publication) →
