High Performance Reconfigurable Computing: using FPGAs for HPC

High Performance Reconfigurable Computing: using FPGAs for HPC

The primary aim of this course is to provide potential users of Maxwell, the 64-FPGA supercomputer, with a solid grounding in getting the most from the machine. As well as providing the necessary background in FPGA and HPC technologies, high-performance reconfigurable computing (HPRC) and the FHPCA Parallel Toolkit (PTK) the material will cover logging in, software development tools, job submission and other key usability topics.

The goals of this course are threefold:

• to introduce the new technology area dubbed High Performance Reconfigurable Computing (HPRC), the overlap of HPC and FPGAs and the challenges and opportunities therein;
• to describe a practical approach to high-level programming for HPRC systems;
• to provide a practical introduction to using Maxwell, the FHPCA FPGA Supercomputer.
