That should be Piz Daint at CSCS, so Super conductor behavior, weather and many other things.
Mostly non embarrassingly parallel problems, where its high speed interconnect pays off.
- juliangregorian 11y agoCan we please stop calling things "embarrassingly parallel". Just what the hell is embarrassing about highly parallelizable algorithms?
- lorenzhs 11y agoThe term "embarrassingly parallel" doesn't refer to algorithms, it refers to problems which can be computed in such a manner, stating that they're not very interesting for parallel algorithms research. But yeah, it's kind of a stupid term. Would you be okay with "pleasingly parallel"? ;)
- juliangregorian 11y agoPotato, potato. I don't make the rules. I just think "embarrassingly parallel" sounds like a college freshman trying way too hard to sound smart and cool.
- jerven 11y agoIt called "embarrassingly parallel" because it is embarrassing for the Cray and other supercomputer vendors sales people when their expensive hardware does not outperform a 5 year old solution that cost 1/2 their fancy gear ;) Otherwise data parallel is an other phrase that is used for the same concept.
