The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is opening its Stampede cluster on Monday. Many of its nodes have the new Intel "Many Integrated Core" (MIC) coprocessor, which has more than fifty processor cores and shared memory. It's like a GPU accelerator, but easier. TACC is giving two days of webcast training on Thursday and Friday
My vague understanding of parallel Sage is that it works with shared but not distributed memory. I haven't worked with it because I haven't had a many-core machine, but on Tuesday I start teaching a Numerical Methods course that will use Sage, Python, C, C++, and some Fortran. If we can use Sage in parallel on 50+ cores... Does anyone know: 1. Can Sage effectively use 50+ cores with shared memiory? 2. Will Sage be installed on Stampede? (shouldn't be hard to find out once I can log in on Monday) Anything else interesting I should know? If I knew which questions to ask, I would know how to find the answers. I am an XSEDE Campus Champion, and can help you get an XSEDE account and access to my allocation if you want to participate in the Stampede training next Thursday and Friday. Registration is officially closed, but that might be flexible. Information at: https://www.xsede.org/web/xup/course-calendar/-/training/class/77 Questions? Comments? Pearls of Wisdom? Thanks, Brad J.
