When: October 18, 2023 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q&A)

Topic: Short Takes: CXL in High Performance Computing; and the UCIe 
Standard for Chip Design

Speaker:    Kurt Keville, Shankar Viswanathan


Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org

Summary:

    New developments in HPC and Chip Design, and various projects from
    the 2023 Student Cluster Competition


Abstract:

There are new hardware processes and programming paradigms that promise 
to dramatically improve process yields and performance. CXL will unlock 
academic research computing disciplines that currently have no solution 
path. These include deeply recursive codes and
applications that require large memory blocks.

Unified Acceleration (UXL), was announced last month at the Linux 
Foundation Open Source Summit with the goal of delivering a 
multi-architecture and multi-vendor software ecosystem for all 
accelerators based on open source standards. And Universal Chiplet 
Interconnect Express (UCIe) is helping to build an open ecosystem of 
chiplets for on-package
innovations.


Bio:

Shankar Viswanathan is the lead performance architect for AMD's 
Strategic Silicon products. He has worked on the design and verification 
of several generations of AMD processors. Most recently, he was on the 
design team for the SoCs that power game consoles such as the 
PlayStation5 and the Steam Deck. His general interests like at the 
intersection of performance and security in hardware platforms.
