Performance Portable High Performance Conjugate Gradients Benchmark

The High Performance Conjugate Gradient Benchmark (HPCG) is an international project to create a more appropriate benchmark test for the world\u27s most powerful computers. The current LINPACK benchmark, which is the standard for measuring the performance of the top 500 fastest computers in the world, is moving computers in a direction that is no longer beneficial to many important parallel applications. HPCG is designed to exercise computations and data access patterns more commonly found in applications. The reference version of HPCG exploits only some parallelism available on existing supercomputers and the main focus of this work was to create a performance portable version of HPCG that gives reasonable performance on hybrid architectures

Schools and Business Benefit Mutually Through Service Learning

Schools are modeled after the industrial factories of yesterday. The goal of the education process is to mass produce standardized, educated citizens and workers. In this factory model, we teach students the hierarchy of decision making, to follow orders, and to work individually. Businesses, however, need graduates who are self-directed, responsible employees, who can solve problems, who can handle computers and the latest technology, and who can work in teams. In this the information age, business can no longer continue to sidestep the need to reformulate the processes and goals of public education
