Jack Dongarra discusses the evolution of high performance computing and how hardware changes impact the design of algorithms and software libraries.
It is our great pleasure to welcome Jack Dongarra, recipient of the ACM Turing Award 2021 to TU Darmstadt in the 50th anniversary year of our department! The renowned professor of computer science conducts research at the University of Tennessee. He received the Turing Award for pioneering contributions to numerical algorithms and software that have enabled decades of extraordinary advances in computing power and applications.
This talk was live streamed on May 27, 2022 from TU Darmstadt.
Abstract:
In this talk we will look at some of the changes that have occurred in high performance computing and the impact that is having on how our algorithms and software libraries are designed for our high-end computers. For nearly forty years, Moore’s Law produced exponential growth in hardware performance, and during that same time, most software failed to keep pace with these hardware advances. We will look at some of the algorithmic and software changes that have tried to keep up with the advances in the hardware.
