How to Build a Bad Research Center
Sharing lessons learned from experiences creating successful multidisciplinary research centers.
Technical Perspective: For Better or Worse, Benchmarks Shape a Field
Like other IT fields, computer architects initially reported incomparable results. We quickly saw the folly of this approach. We then went through a sequence of performance metrics. When a field has good benchmarks, we settle debates and the field makes rapid progress.
Clearing the clouds away from the true potential and obstacles posed by this computing capability.
A View of the Parallel Computing Landscape
Writing programs that scale with increasing numbers of cores should be as easy as writing programs for sequential computers. Here as a concrete example of a coordinated attack on the problem of parallelism.
Roofline: An Insightful Visual Performance Model For Multicore Architectures
The Roofline model offers insight on how to improve the performance of multicore microprocessors whose design diversity exacerbates the jobs of programmers, compiler writers, and architects.
