Future of HPC: Diversifying Heterogeneity

After the end of Dennard scaling and with the imminent end of Moore's Law, it has become challenging to continue scaling HPC systems within a given power envelope. This is exacerbated most in large systems, such as high end supercomputers. To alleviate this problem, general purpose is no longer sufficient, and HPC systems and components are being augmented with special-purpose hardware. By definit...
