Invited Talk at SuperComputing 2016!

“Memory Bandwidth and System Balance in HPC Systems”

If you are planning to attend the SuperComputing 2016 conference in Salt Lake City next month, be sure to reserve a spot on your calendar for my talk on Wednesday afternoon (4:15pm-5:00pm).

I will be talking about the technology and market trends that have driven changes in deployed HPC systems, with a particular emphasis on the increasing relative performance cost of memory accesses (vs arithmetic).   The talk will conclude with a discussion of near-term trends in HPC system balances and some ideas on the fundamental architectural changes that will be required if we ever want to obtain large reductions in cost and power consumption.
