Abstract :
High Performance Linpack can maximize requirements throughout a computer system. An efficient multi-GPU double-precision general matrix multiply (DGEMM), together with adjustments to the HPL, is required to utilize a heterogeneous computer to its full extent. The authors present the resulting energy-efficiency measurements and suggest a cluster design that can utilize multiple GPUs.
