Shalf Speaks at iWAPT in Japan
John Shalf, head of NERSC’s Science-Driven System Architecture team, delivered the keynote address at the Fourth International Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning (iWAPT2009), October 1–2 at the University of Tokyo, Japan. Shalf’s talk, “Green Flash: Exascale Computing on a Petascale Power Budget” described the Green Flash research project, which is developing an energy-efficient computing architecture that uses autotuning methods for both hardware and software optimization.
While in Japan, Shalf was also scheduled to visit Kyoto University, home of one of the major HPC systems in Japan. Shalf planned to meet with faculty who are working on Japan’s 10 petaflop/s computing project and learn more about the architecture plans. Shalf also presented on the NERSC application workload and research interests in order find areas of mutual interest for potential research collaborations.
