Xilinx Teams with Leading Universities Establish Adaptive Compute Research Clusters XACC Adaptive computing is the buzz word these days and Xilinx seams to be on top of it. With that in mind Xilinx announced it is establishing Xilinx Adaptive Compute Clusters (XACC) at four of the world’s most prestigious universities The XACCs provide critical infrastructure and funding to support novel research in adaptive compute acceleration for high performance computing (HPC). The scope of the research is broad and encompasses systems, architecture, tools and applications. Xilinx wants to enable researches to have an easier access to its hardware and software technologies for adaptive compute acceleration. It is well known that the company has an unique set of hardware solutions tailored for several markets. The XACCs will be equipped with the latest Xilinx hardware and software technologies for adaptive compute acceleration. Each cluster is specially configured to enable some of the world’s foremost academic teams to conduct state-of-the-art HPC research. The first of the XACCs is installed at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. XACCs will follow at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC). A fourth cluster is being setup at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The XACCs are composed of high-end servers, Xilinx Alveo accelerator cards and high speed networking. Each Alveo card has two connections to a 100Gbps network switch to allow exploration of arbitrary network topologies for distributed computing. https://fudzilla.com/news/ai/50770-x...g-universities |
