The present invention provides a computing unit for operating in a parallel computing system, the computing unit comprising a plurality of processing elements and an interface for connecting the computing unit to other components of the computing system wherein each processing element has a nominal maximum processing rate NPR and each processing element includes a respective memory unit such that data can be transferred from the memory unit at a predetermined maximum data rate MBW and the interface provides a maximum data transfer rate CBW, wherein in order to provide a predetermined peak calculation performance for the computing unit PP obtainable by a number n processing elements operating at the nominal maximum processing rate such that PP=n×NPR operations per second, the computing unit includes an integer multiple f times n processing elements wherein f is greater than one and each processing element is limited to operate at a processing rate of NPR/f.

Apparatus and method for efficient parallel computation

The present invention is directed to a computer cluster arrangement and a method for operation of the introduced computer cluster arrangement. The computer cluster arrangement comprises computation nodes CN, which dynamically outsource specific computation tasks to boosters B. Therefore, an assignment technique of boosters B to computation nodes CN is introduced. The assignment takes dynamically place at runtime. The present invention finds application in high performance cluster technology.

Computer cluster arrangement for processing a computation task and method for operation thereof

The present invention provides a method of operating a heterogeneous computing system comprising a plurality of computation nodes and a plurality of booster nodes, at least one of the plurality of computation nodes and plurality of booster nodes being arranged to compute a computation task, the computation task comprising a plurality of sub-tasks, wherein in a first computing iteration, the plurality of sub-tasks are assigned to and processed by ones of the plurality of computation nodes and booster nodes in a first distribution; and information relating to the processing of the plurality of sub-tasks by the plurality of computation nodes and booster nodes is used to generate a further distribution of the sub-tasks between the computation nodes and booster node for processing thereby in a further computing iteration.

Application runtime determined dynamical allocation of heterogeneous compute resources

The present invention relates to the technical field of high performance computing (HPC). In particular, the invention relates to a heterogeneous computing system, particularly a computing system including different modules, which can freely be assigned to jointly process a computation tasks. A control entity, referred to as module computing abstraction layer (MCAL), is provided which allows dynamic assignment of various resources provided by the different modules. Due to its flexibility in adjusting to varying demands in computing, the present invention is also applicable as an underlying system for providing cloud computing services, which provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand, mostly via the Internet.
