The HYDRO mini-application has been successfully used as a research vehicle in previous PRACE projects [6]. In this paper, we evaluate the benefits of the tasking model introduced in recent OpenMP standards [9]. We have developed a new version of HYDRO using the concept of OpenMP tasks and this implementation is compared to already existing and optimized Open

Mozambique has been proposed as a host for one of the future Square Kilometre Array stations in Southern Africa. However, Mozambique does not possess a university astronomy department and only recently has there been interest in developing one. South
Africa has been funding students at the MSc and PhD level, as well as researchers. Additionally, Mozambicans with Physics degrees have been funded at the MSc level. With the advent of the International Year of Astronomy, there has been a very strong drive, from these students, to establish a successful astronomy department in Mozambique. The launch of the commemorations during the 2008 World Space Week was very successful and Mozambique is to be used to motivate similar African countries who lack funds but are still trying to take part in the International Year of Astronomy. There hare been limited resources and funding, however there is a strong will to carry this momentum into 2009 and, with this, influence the Government to introduce Astronomy into its national curriculum and at University level. Mozambiques motto for the International Year of Astronomy is Descobre o teu Universo.
The standard nature of computing is currently being challenged by a range of problems that start to hinder technological progress. One of the strategies being proposed to address some of these problems is to develop novel brain-inspired processing me
thods and technologies, and apply them to a wide range of application scenarios. This is an extremely challenging endeavor that requires researchers in multiple disciplines to combine their efforts and co-design at the same time the processing methods, the supporting computing architectures, and their underlying technologies. The journal ``Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering (NCE) has been launched to support this new community in this effort and provide a forum and repository for presenting and discussing its latest advances. Through close collaboration with our colleagues on the editorial team, the scope and characteristics of NCE have been designed to ensure it serves a growing transdisciplinary and dynamic community across academia and industry.
We investigate a parallelization strategy for dense matrix factorization (DMF) algorithms, using OpenMP, that departs from the legacy (or conventional) solution, which simply extracts concurrency from a multithreaded version of BLAS. This approach is
also different from the more sophisticated runtime-assisted implementations, which decompose the operation into tasks and identify dependencies via directives and runtime support. Instead, our strategy attains high performance by explicitly embedding a static look-ahead technique into the DMF code, in order to overcome the performance bottleneck of the panel factorization, and realizing the trailing update via a cache-aware multi-threaded implementation of the BLAS. Although the parallel algorithms are specified with a highlevel of abstraction, the actual implementation can be easily derived from them, paving the road to deriving a high performance implementation of a considerable fraction of LAPACK functionality on any multicore platform with an OpenMP-like runtime.
With the increasing number of Quad-Core-based clusters and the introduction of compute nodes designed with large memory capacity shared by multiple cores, new problems related to scalability arise. In this paper, we analyze the overall performance of
a cluster built with nodes having a dual Quad-Core Processor on each node. Some benchmark results are presented and some observations are mentioned when handling such processors on a benchmark test. A Quad-Core-based clusters complexity arises from the fact that both local communication and network communications between the running processes need to be addressed. The potentials of an MPI-OpenMP approach are pinpointed because of its reduced communication overhead. At the end, we come to a conclusion that an MPI-OpenMP solution should be considered in such clusters since optimizing network communications between nodes is as important as optimizing local communications between processors in a multi-core cluster.
In this document, we describe LDBC Graphalytics, an industrial-grade benchmark for graph analysis platforms. The main goal of Graphalytics is to enable the fair and objective comparison of graph analysis platforms. Due to the diversity of bottlenecks
and performance issues such platforms need to address, Graphalytics consists of a set of selected deterministic algorithms for full-graph analysis, standard graph datasets, synthetic dataset generators, and reference output for validation purposes. Its test harness produces deep metrics that quantify multiple kinds of systems scalability, weak and strong, and robustness, such as failures and performance variability. The benchmark also balances comprehensiveness with runtime necessary to obtain the deep metrics. The benchmark comes with open-source software for generating performance data, for validating algorithm results, for monitoring and sharing performance data, and for obtaining the final benchmark result as a standard performance report.
