This paper introduces the ideas that underly the data-parallel language High Performance Fortran (HPF). It reviews HPF's key language elements: elemental array parallelism and data mapping pragmas; the relationship between data mapping and implicit communication; the FORALL and INDEPENDENT loop mechanisms for more general data parallelism; and the standard HPF library, which adds to the richness of...
Multilevel-cell (MLC) phase change memory (PCM) may provide both high capacity main memory and faster-than-Flash persistent storage. But slow growth in cell resistance with time, resistance drift, can cause transient errors in MLC-PCM. Drift errors increase with time, and prior work suggests refresh before the cell loses data. The need for refresh makes MLC-PCM volatile, taking away a key advantage...
In the push to achieve exascale performance, systems will grow to over 100,000 sockets, as growing cores-per-socket and improved single-core performance provide only part of the speedup needed. These systems will need affordable interconnect structures that scale to this level. To meet the need, we consider an extension of the hypercube and flattened butterfly topologies, the HyperX, and give an adaptive...
Continuous evolution in process technology brings energy-efficiency and reliability challenges, which are harder for memory system designs since chip multiprocessors demand high bandwidth and capacity, global wires improve slowly, and more cells are susceptible to hard and soft errors. Recently, there are proposals aiming at better main-memory energy efficiency by dividing a memory rank into subsets...
