BOF: Stampede Alert! Come Contribute or Get Outta the Way
Abstract: Stampede, the next big HPC system in the XSEDE program, will go into production in January 2013. Stampede will be tremendously powerful computational platform, leveraging Dell nodes containing Intel Sandy Bridge processors and forthcoming MIC coprocessors to provide 10PF peak performance. Stampede will also have tremendous memory, disk, and visualization capabilities, a set of large shared memory nodes, software that enables high throughput computing, excellent interconnect latency and bandwidth, a rich set of software and services, and outreach efforts including campus bridging efforts to help other sites deploy MIC-based clusters. Most importantly, the Stampede project is designed to support hundreds of diverse science applications and requirements spanning domains and usage models. We invite you to come learn about the system and project, and to provide your suggestions for how we can deliver the most productive system and services for the open science community.
