NUMA (non-uniform memory access) has been written about ad nauseam. For those fans of POWER processors out there, we’ll show briefly in this blog what the NUMA looks like on a dual-socket POWER9 development system.
Since the dawn of time, humans have looked for ways to make their lives easier. Over the centuries human ingenuity has given us inventions such as the wheel and simple machines – which help greatly with tasks that would otherwise be extremely laborious.
Computer simulation has become a staple technique in many disciplines – so much so that it often described as the “third pillar” of the scientific method.
It is coming up on one year that the Summit supercomputer based on IBM POWER9 at Oak Ridge National Lab claimed the number one spot on the Top500 ranking.
In my last blog, we ran through an example showing how IBM Spectrum LSF now automatically detects the presence of NVIDIA GPUs on hosts in the cluster and performs the necessary configuration of the scheduler automatically.
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted to my goulash blog. I’ve not disappeared, rather I’ve been writing articles for the IBM Accelerated Insights solution channel on HPCWire.
