 "A Brief* overview of what makes modern accelerators interesting for HPC" ( 2026 )

Sunday at 16:30, 25 minutes, H.1308 (Rolin), H.1308 (Rolin), HPC, Big Data & Data Science FelixCLC , video

Evaluating and discussing what makes different types of accelerators interesting for which types of workloads, and the mental model most appropriate for choosing them.

Why it's sometimes a good idea to ignore them all and *just use a CPU, all the way to when FPGAs become interesting as a means of doing more science
