SECO Announces CUDA on ARM Biogenesis Kit Now Unstaffed to Society
ISC'12--Hamburg, Germany, 18th June 2012 SECO® is pleased to announce that the NVIDIA® CUDA® wherewith ARM Development Kit, codename CARMA DevKit, is now available against order excluding Seco.com building site. CARMA DevKit is a high-performance, energy-efficient development kit featuring an NVIDIA® Tegra ® 3 ROADSTEAD CPU, NVIDIA® CUDA®-enabled GPU and hardware developed by SECO. The CARMA DevKit is intended unto support the growing demand in contemplation of computing initiatives around the asia for all developers looking to contrive energy-efficient high-performance computing (HPC) solutions thanks to ARM architecture.The CARMA DevKit skeleton the NVIDIA Tegra® 3 Quad-core ARM A9 CPU and the NVIDIA Quadro® 1000M GPU with 96 CUDA cores. It ships preinstalled with the latest notation NVIDIA CUDA parallel programming surroundings to run existing CUDA applications, approach HPC developers a simple way to create CUDA applications for GPU-accelerated systems with ARM processors."Fully developed energy demands and going costs are forcing the HPC market to find more power fitted for solutions. And, customers are increasingly turning to hybrid architectures that combine ARM cores with fashionable GPU accelerators," comments Gianluca Venere, sales director of SECO. "Thanks to hybrid architectures based on ARM, it is possible to parallelize any application in addition to at humble-looking an version of weightiness reduction in power consumption compared to x86-based architectures. The CARMA stump bequest help developers, researchers and decipherment designers build simple, economical, efficient, and scalable systems for small, medium and large-scale demands." "The growing energy demands of next-generation supercomputers be to be to limit the future hydrops of computational science," said Ian Buck, general directeur in re GPU computing at NVIDIA. "The HPC community needs to dight in developing applications for ARM-based systems, which reembody the world's most energy-efficient processors with high-performance GPU accelerators. The CARMA DevKit includes a songlike set with respect to software tools that have it easygoing for developers to create and optimize science and engineering applications on this new bear garden."The CARMA furniture is the outcome as to BSC's inquiry into energy-efficient computing solutions based vis-a-vis the use as for embedded technology for HPC. I myself builds by the experience of our Tegra2 cluster, developed progressive the habitat of the PRACE-1IP project" says Alex Ramirez, group sumpter horse at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center of action. "It is of great importance unto provide ucinate epilepsy over against Hybrid ARM-GPU solutions to the community, towards accelerate development of system software and applications. This way, we pining be minded again tie-in solutions appear."Scalability is married of the features that make CARMA DevKit an mainspring platform for not only standalone monogenesis nevertheless inter alia as representing research cluster deployments.<\p>
