Abstract

The number of processor cores available in highperformance computing systems is steadily increasing. A major factor is the current trend to use multi-core and many-core processor chip architectures. In the latest list of the TOP500 Supercomputer Sites[1], 63% of the systems listed have more than 1024 processor cores and the average is about 2400.
