DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: The explosion of data, and corresponding need to capture, manage, analyze, and understand that data means a fundamental change in high-performance computing hardware and software. Applications that manipulate massive amounts of data require approaches that are unreachable by today’s commodity systems.=0AOne architectural approach uses Convey’s reconfigurable, heterogeneous architecture called hybrid-core computing. Hybrid-core computing provides a balance between reconfigurable computing elements and a supercomputer-inspired memory subsystem. The architecture lends itself directly to problems in the data-intensive sciences, and especially graph-type algorithms.=0ASpecifically, Convey has developed a “personality” (a hardware-based instruction set) for the Graph 500 benchmark that gives dramatically increased performance for the dollar (or watt or cubic meter). During this forum Convey will describe how hybrid-core computing technology is uniquely equipped to address the challenges of data intensive computing now and in the future.
