WestGrid 2014 Seminar Series – A Signpost on the Road to Exascale

The WestGrid Seminar Series hosts talks and tutorials on how to use WestGrid and Compute Canada resources. It also showcases examples of research projects that are supported by high performance computing. Sessions range in length from 30 minutes to an hour and are video-conferenced to participating institutions. This session will discuss how Exascale computing is the next great challenge in supercomputing. Last year, Drs. Humaira Kamal and Alan Wagner, in the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, notched an exciting signpost on the road to exascale when his team executed programs with over 100 Million processes on 6,480 processor cores on WestGrid machines using Fine-Grain MPI. In this talk, they will share details of that experiment as well as highlights from their ongoing work with Fine-Grain MPI.
