Patent number: 9971713Abstract: A Multi-Petascale Highly Efficient Parallel Supercomputer of 100 petaflop-scale includes node architectures based upon System-On-a-Chip technology, where each processing node comprises a single Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The ASIC nodes are interconnected by a five dimensional torus network that optimally maximize the throughput of packet communications between nodes and minimize latency. The network implements collective network and a global asynchronous network that provides global barrier and notification functions. Integrated in the node design include a list-based prefetcher. The memory system implements transaction memory, thread level speculation, and multiversioning cache that improves soft error rate at the same time and supports DMA functionality allowing for parallel processing message-passing.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Sameh Asaad, Ralph E.

Patent number: 9081501Abstract: A Multi-Petascale Highly Efficient Parallel Supercomputer of 100 petaOPS-scale computing, at decreased cost, power and footprint, and that allows for a maximum packaging density of processing nodes from an interconnect point of view. The Supercomputer exploits technological advances in VLSI that enables a computing model where many processors can be integrated into a single Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2011Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sameh Asaad, Ralph E.

Patent number: 8140889Abstract: Methods, systems, and products for dynamically reassigning a connected node to a block of compute nodes for re-launching a failed job that include: identifying that a job failed to execute on the block of compute nodes because connectivity failed between a compute node assigned as at least one of the connected nodes for the block of compute nodes and its supporting I/O node; and re-launching the job, including selecting an alternative connected node that is actively coupled for data communications with an active I/O node; and assigning the alternative connected node as the connected node for the block of compute nodes running the re-launched job.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2010Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas A. Budnik, Brant L. Knudson, Mark G. Megerian, Samuel J. Miller, William M. Stockdell
