| Abstract: |
Astronomy has always been a field with computational challenges. Data sets grow larger and larger, and the number of computations per unit data widely varies, making that traditional CPU-based computing is not always well-fit. This calls for development of algorithms that make use of hardware accelerators.
We report on a discussion held at ADASS on the issues with using accelerators in a scientific environment, kick-started by summaries of the experiences we have at our institutes. Even though many participants believed that accelerators solve problems for them, a lack of standardisation is felt to be one of the major issues with using them.
In conclusion, accelerators can certainly accelerate scientific discoveries in a collaborative setting. |
