Enabling High Performance Computing on Embedded Systems

On-demand Web Seminar

Abstract

High Performance Computing or HPC has classically been the domain of super computers consisting of rooms filled with endless rows of rack-mounted processor blades. However, recent advances in processors and single board computers are enabling compute-intensive applications to run on embedded systems. This session reviews the challenges of accessing the teraflop-range performance potential of these new platforms and explains how high level libraries like Sourcery VSIPL++ and performance profiling tools like Sourcery Analyzer can help maximize application speed performance and portability while ensuring high developer productivity.
