HPC User Forum 2012 Panel on Potential Disruptive Technologies
Why Cool: ET International delivers its dataflow-oriented ETI Swarm environment for garnering high efficiency from highly parallel software, based on the alternative ParalleX execution model. As highly parallel execution becomes essential to addressing the more substantial computing tasks that HPC users face today, progress is increasingly being stymied by the application's inability to keep all the parallel strands working productively.…]
• Many-core is coming Current paradigms don't have the expressive power to harness
concurrency
• Hardware is getting more heterogeneous Current hybrid programming techniques (OpenMP+MPI+OpenCL) are
not maintainable: too complicated
• Caches are disappearing or becoming non-coherent Distributed memory is everywhere, and at different levels
• Fine grained power management Use what you need and turn off/down the rest
• Failure is the norm Resilience must be baked in the whole stack (application, compiler,
runtime, hardware)
• Increasing Application Computation/data Irregularity Static scheduling can no longer properly load balance

ETI Vision
• We need new “Execution Models”!• Leverage ETI’s deep and growing IP position based on 25+ years of
applied R&D expertise and $20M+ in R&D software engineering and development (e.g. extensive system software base for Cyclops, CELL, SCC, Intel Runnemede,
Intel X86 based machines, Adapteva, etc)
• Provide high-performance SWARM software solutions to our OEM’s, partners and direct customers
• Advance SWARM solutions to address optimization opportunities driven by heterogeneous multi-/many- core processing including:
Big Compute (Private HPC Cloud) systems
Big Data HPC systems
HPC embedded appliances
etc
