Description

With all the advances in massively parallel and multi-core computing with CPUs and accelerators it is often overlooked whether the computational work is being done in an efficient manner. This efficiency is largely being determined at the application level and therefore puts the responsibility of sustaining a certain performance trajectory into the hands of the user. It is observed that the adoption rate of new hardware capabilities is decreasing and lead to a feeling of diminishing returns. This presentation shows the well-known laws of parallel performance from the perspective of a system builder. It also covers through the use of real case studies, examples of how to program for energy efficient parallel application performance.
