Overview
ClearSpeed Developer Program
Join a growing community of software developers who are adapting and creating applications to benefit from today’s accelerated systems. The ClearSpeed Developer Program provides leading edge developers with technical resources and a community forum where developers and ClearSpeed gurus can share coding techniques, tips and sample codes; plus developers have the opportunity to provide feedback and ideas for new features.
Developing Accelerated Applications
Applications that require substantially more floating point performance than they achieve with standard systems can benefit from acceleration.
Applications that are good candidates for acceleration have the following characteristics:
- CPU time is high while bus usage moderate; number of flops per byte are high
- Floating point codes that could clearly exploit SIMD parallelism
- Fortran loops that would have be auto-parallelized by the compiler
- Large, dense linear algebra operations, for example DGEMM
- 64- or 32-bit floating point
