The Beginnings

Team Chowdah leveraging "Human Parallelism"

name: the-beginnings-2 tempalte: title-layout .center[team-old] ???

  • MGHPCC, but we were really "green" in both senses of the word
  • SC11 and 12
  • underdog team and we still finished fourth!
  • frathest back I could trace when we participated
  • from the days of AMD-GF split and AbuDhabi core based opteron servers
  • NV tesla K10s (cutting edge at the time and we still saw >100% perf jumps every generation)
  • This team had stuff that was not even released yet!
  • Placed second once!
  • Silicon Mechanics donated a large cluster to the team

name: golden-days-2 template: title-layout .center[team-previous] ???

  • Went on to participate in many competitions under the banner of MGHPCC
  • Team was still a collaboration between Boston area universities
  • ASC qualifying - top 16 both years
  • Only American team for ASC'16
  • SC'16 we did really well on research paper reimplementation

What does SCC entail?

  • 4-6 HPC codes to optimize and use as benchmarks
  • Code is generally given
  • Cluster specific optimizations required
  • Power limit of 3kW
  • HPC benchmarks
  • Research paper reproduction
  • Deep learning or machine learning codes
  • Monkeywrench challanges (e.g. powerloss)
  • Hardware is open ended!
