On June 9th, 2023 at 12.30 pm "High performance computing on Tensor Streaming Processors for large-scale dense linear algebra" a new appointment of NECSTFridayTalk, will be held by Ernesto Bonomi, Adjunct Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Cagliari, in DEIB NECSTLab Meeting Room (Building 20).

In this presentation, with emphasis on machine learning and dense linear algebra, the static and deterministic dataflow computing paradigm that characterizes Groq's Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) will be presented. The novelty of this SIMD approach will be illustrated through an overview of the HW architecture and its scalability. The resulting HPC programming environment will be illustrated with some application examples.

The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.

Every week, the “NECSTFridayTalk” invites researchers, professionals or entrepreneurs to share their work experiences and projects they are implementing in the “Computing Systems”.

Ernesto Bonomi graduated in 1977 as an Engineer in Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland. In 1980, he completed the Advanced Master's degree in Physics (Doctorat de 3-ème Cycle) at the University of Orléans, France. In 1985 he was awarded a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics (Doctorat ès Science Physique) at the Ecole Polytechnique and University of Paris XI, France. Former Director at CRS4 of the "HPC for Energy and Environment" Sector, with about 20 research staff, designing, developing and applying large-scale simulation models and data analysis tools. Currently, Adjunct Professor of "Numerical Simulation and HPC" at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Cagliari, and consultant in the areas of scientific applications of HPC and science education.

Event will hold on line by Facebook.
