CoreNEURON : An Optimized Compute Engine for the NEURON Simulator

Felix Schürmann, James Gonzalo King, Michael Lee Hines, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, Aleksandr Ovcharenko, Jérémy Pierre Benoit Fouriaux

The NEURON simulator has been developed over the past three decades and is widely used by neuroscientists to model the electrical activity of neuronal networks. Large network simulation projects using NEURON have supercomputer allocations that individually ...

A machine learning approach for power gating the FPGA routing network

Mirjana Stojilovic, Hossein Asadi

Power gating is a common approach for reducing circuit static power consumption. In FPGAs, resources that dominate static power consumption lie in the routing network. Researchers have proposed several heuristics for clustering multiplexers in the routing ...

Parallel algorithms and efficient implementation techniques for finite element approximations

Radu Popescu

In this thesis we study the efficient implementation of the finite element method for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE) on modern parallel computer archi- tectures, such as Cray and IBM supercomputers. The domain-decomposition ...

One Joule per GFlop for BLAS2 Now!

Vincent Keller

Energy consumption is today one of the major topics that the HPC community tries to tackle. In this paper, the authors present a thought experiment aiming at building a node of a supercomputer based on a GPU (Nvidia GTX280). The paper concentrate on BLAS2 ...
