| 2023 | A Research Retrospective on AMD's Exascale Computing JourneyabstractThe pace of advancement of the top-end supercomputers historically followed an exponential curve similar to (and driven in part by) Moore's Law. Shortly after hitting the petaflop mark, the community started looking ahead to the next milestone: Exascale. However, many obstacles were already looming on the horizon, such as the slowing of Moore's Law, and others like the end of Dennard Scaling had already arrived. Anticipating significant challenges for the overall high-performance computing (HPC) community to achieve the next 1000x improvement, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Exascale Computing Program to enable and accelerate fundamental research across the many technologies needed to achieve exascale computing.

| 2017 | Design and Analysis of an APU for Exascale ComputingabstractThe challenges to push computing to exaflop levels are difficult given desired targets for memory capacity, memory bandwidth, power efficiency, reliability, and cost. This paper presents a vision for an architecture that can be used to construct exascale systems. We describe a conceptual Exascale Node Architecture (ENA), which is the computational building block for an exascale supercomputer. The ENA consists of an Exascale Heterogeneous Processor (EHP) coupled with an advanced memory system. The EHP provides a high-performance accelerated processing unit (CPU+GPU), in-package high-bandwidth 3D memory, and aggressive use of die-stacking and chiplet technologies to meet the requirements for exascale computing in a balanced manner. We present initial experimental analysis to demonstrate the promise of our approach, and we discuss remaining open research challenges for the community.

| 2010 | SPEC MPI2007 - an application benchmark suite for parallel systems using MPIabstractAbstract The SPEC High‐Performance Group has developed the benchmark suite SPEC MPI2007 and its run rules over the last few years. The purpose of the SPEC MPI2007 benchmark and its run rules is to further the cause of fair and objective benchmarking of high‐performance computing systems. The rules help to ensure that the published results are meaningful, comparable to other results, and reproducible. MPI2007 includes 13 technical computing applications from the fields of computational fluid dynamics, molecular dynamics, electromagnetism, geophysics, ray tracing, and hydrodynamics. We describe the benchmark suite, and compare it with other benchmark suites. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Matthias S.
