I received my diploma in 1999 and my doctoral degree in 2003, both in physics and from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) in Argentina, under the supervision of Daniel Gomez. From 2004 to 2007 I was a postdoc and later a staff scientist at National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), in Boulder, CO, USA, working under the supervision of Annick Pouquet, David Montgomery, and Darryl Holm. I continued working for NCAR as a part-time scientist from 2007 to 2012. Since 2007 I am a professor at the Physics ... Read More
To support both Artificial Intelligence and High-Performance Computing workloads, new processors have introduced hardware acceleration for matrix multiplication. Examples include the Matrix Multiply Assist (MMA) in the IBM POWER10 and the Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) in the Intel Sapphire Rapids microarchitecture for Xeon servers. This talk describes how, in collaboration between the University of Alberta, the University of Campinas, and IBM, we developed compiler technology to support such accelerators ... Read More
