High Performance Computing
//
A new generation of electronic systems will significantly impact our daily lives. From smart car applications and network connections to smart home security and protection, aerospace and defense, and even medical and other fields, everything related to our daily lives is connected. Their vast array of sensors operating at the edge generate vast amounts of data.
How do we transfer, process, analyze and store this data? Keep your data safe and secure at the same time?
The answer is to use High Performance Computing (HPC).
About high performance computing
High-performance computing (HPC for short) is a technology for high-speed computing and data processing. As a branch of computer science, HPC studies cluster architecture, parallel algorithms and related software foundations, and achieves computing speeds that cannot be achieved by a single computer through distributed computing.
Computing power is the first element of high-performance computing. To achieve a computing speed of one trillion times per second, the requirements for the system's processor, memory bandwidth, computing methods, system I/O, storage, etc. are very high. While satisfying computing power, low latency, low power consumption and data security are also the focus of the industry .
In high-performance computing, three components: computing, storage, and network are indispensable:
Computing center:
The combination of high-performance CPU + GPU is the cornerstone of the development of high-performance computing.
network centre:
Computing servers are connected to a cluster through a network, and software programs and algorithms run simultaneously on servers in the cluster. The cluster connects the data stores through the network.
Storage center:
To run at optimal performance, each component must be in sync with the others, and storage components must be able to feed and load data to compute servers as quickly as it is processed.
Nowadays, high-performance computing has entered the exascale era. The integration of HPC, cloud computing, and AI technologies allows the value of data to be more fully exploited. The development of applications in various emerging industries has caused a surge in data volume, which has brought many challenges to the field of chip development.
The rapid development of HPC has given rise to chip development
What challenges does it bring?
How to deal with the data explosion
-
There is a need to increase higher computing density in CPUs targeted at data center servers.
-
In terms of chip architecture, it is necessary to use multi-die interconnection to provide more external interfaces.
-
Use chiplets and 2.5D/3D-IC packaging to solve yield problems caused by design sizes approaching or exceeding the mask size.
How to deal with higher storage needs
-
DDR5/HBM2e memory processing
-
PCIe Gen6/CXL2.0/UCIe high-speed interface

Nvidia and Cadence collaborate to address the enormous challenges of ultra-large-scale SoC chip design and verification
As the inventor of the GPU and the leader in artificial intelligence computing, NVIDIA is one of the creators of the world's largest SoC chips. As the complexity of chips and systems increases, NVIDIA needs to use hardware simulation technology that keeps pace with the times to deal with chip, System and software challenges.
Cadence's Palladium Z2 and Protium X2 (System Power Dynamic Duo) enable NVIDIA to move designs from hardware emulation accelerators to FPGA-based systems. NVIDIA engineers can easily and calmly move from the Palladium hardware emulation acceleration platform to FPGA-based systems. Protium system.
NVIDIA engineers can now take a multi-billion-gate design, compile it, create a simulation model, and import it into a simulation accelerator in just four hours, whereas not long ago this same process would have been possible. What took 48 hours or even 72 hours now only takes 4 hours. This is a breakthrough technology in the field of hardware emulation technology.
With solutions from Cadence, you can achieve the best balance of performance with low power, energy consumption and cost in very large-scale computing designs. Optimize hardware and software, system-level thermal, mobility and thermal effects. Go beyond Moore's Law with 3D-IC integration to enable the most complex designs with faster turnaround times.
