Past Research Seminars
Monday, 12 June, 2017
This talk will discuss recent technologies that Bruce Jacob and his group have helped to develop in high-performance systems, including Micron’s Hybrid Memory Cube, flash-based main memories, and high-bandwidth/high-capacity memory, and will discuss the impact of tomorrow’s memory technologies on tomorrow’s applications and operating systems.

This talk will cover the technical features of the RISC-V ISA design, which has the goals of scaling from the tiniest implementations for IoT up to the largest warehouse-scale computers, with support for extensive customization. We'll also describe industry-competitive open-source cores developed at UC Berkeley, all written in Chisel, a productive new open-source hardware design language.

Scientific Workshop supported by the Spanish Supercomputing Network
Thursday, 25 May, 2017
In this lecture, organised in collaboration with UPC, Dr Vargas will explore the key challenges and opportunities for data management in the new scientific world, and discuss how a possible data centric artificial intelligence community can best contribute to these exciting domains.

In the Big Data era, due to the ever-growing graph scale and algorithm complexity, several distributed graph processing frameworks have attracted many interests from both academia and industry. In this talk, will be investigated how to achieve the trade-off between performance and cost for large scale graph processing on the Cloud.

Next Generation Sequencing technology needs to be intimately linked to supercomputing to be able to process and store all the massive generated data. This is a scientific workshop supported by the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES).

Fast content-based searches and complex analytics of the vast amount of data collected via social media, cell phones, ubiquitous smart sensors, and satellites is likely to be the biggest economic driver for the IT industry over the next decade. A cheaper and cooler alternative to large clusters which provides high-performance, high-capacity, scalable random-access flash storage, and allows computation near the data via FPGA-based programmable flash controllers will be presented.

In this talk, a structured approach to the management of HPC resilience using the concept of resilience-based design patterns will be presented. A design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem. The authors identify the commonly occurring problems and solutions used to deal with faults, errors and failures in HPC systems.
