Software optimization

We offer single core optimization, parallelization and scaling support. Fully exploiting the exponentially increasing performance of modern HPC facilities requires in-depth knowledge of the underlying hardware and programming paradigms.

Moore's law

The world of supercomputers and large clusters is characterized by the rapid developments in available hardware and software. The speed of the supercomputers is doubling every two years (Moore's Law), the amount of memory and disk space also seems to grow exponentially. At first sight, one could think that users of supercomputers are able to tackle larger and larger projects every year.

Increased programming complexity

Alas, this is not always the case. The growth of supercomputer power is to a large extent possible by architectural changes in the hardware which necessitate special programming paradigms. At SARA we have experience with a large number of supercomputer architectures.

Possibilities

There are several possibilities to get assistance by our HPC experts:

• Regular user support (1 hour - 1 day)
• Parallelization projects (typically 1 month)
• PRACE enabling support (typically 1-3 months)
