Lecture 11: The Road To Exascale And Legacy Software For Dense Linear Algebra, Jack Dongarra Apr 2021

Lecture 11: The Road To Exascale And Legacy Software For Dense Linear Algebra, Jack Dongarra

Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series

In this talk, we will look at the current state of high performance computing and look at the next stage of extreme computing. With extreme computing, there will be fundamental changes in the character of floating point arithmetic and data movement. In this talk, we will look at how extreme-scale computing has caused algorithm and software developers to change their way of thinking on implementing and program-specific applications.

Lecture 06: The Impact Of Computer Architectures On The Design Of Algebraic Multigrid Methods, Ulrike Yang

Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series

Algebraic multigrid (AMG) is a popular iterative solver and preconditioner for large sparse linear systems. When designed well, it is algorithmically scalable, enabling it to solve increasingly larger systems efficiently. While it consists of various highly parallel building blocks, the original method also consisted of various highly sequential components. A large amount of research has been performed over several decades to design new components that perform well on high performance computers. As a matter of fact, AMG has shown to scale well to more than a million processes. However, with single-core speeds plateauing, future increases in computing performance need to …
