Research scientist John McCalpin is on a mission to help users squeeze more performance from TACC’s high-performance computing systems. This requires understanding both the performance capability of the system and the performance achieved by the code.
McCalpin is developing a comprehensive suite of analysis and optimization tools to let users interpret the performance of their code and make significant improvements.
The crucial ingredients for running a high-performance computing center are: powerful supercomputers; comprehensive software suites; and experts who provide assistance when users need help.
But once these basics have been provided, what’s the next step to advance research? With the creation of an Application Collaboration group, TACC has begun a new initiative to accelerate research on high-performance computing systems.
