abstract = {High-performance computing (HPC) is recognized as one of
the pillars for further progress in science, industry,
medicine, and education. Current HPC systems are being
developed to overcome emerging architectural challenges in
order to reach Exascale level of performance, projected for
the year 2020. The much larger embedded and mobile market
allows for rapid development of intellectual property (IP)
blocks and provides more flexibility in designing an
application-specific system-on-chip (SoC), in turn providing
the possibility in balancing performance, energy-efficiency,
and cost. In the Mont-Blanc project, we advocate for HPC
systems being built from such commodity IP blocks, currently
used in embedded and mobile SoCs.As a first demonstrator of
such an approach, we present the Mont-Blanc prototype; the
first HPC system built with commodity SoCs, memories, and
network interface cards (NICs) from the embedded and mobile
domain, and off-the-shelf HPC networking, storage, cooling,
and integration solutions. We present the system's
architecture and evaluate both performance and energy
efficiency. Further, we compare the system's abilities
against a production level supercomputer. At the end, we
discuss parallel scalability and estimate the maximum
scalability point of this approach across a set of
applications.},
