extreme-scale computing.},

abstract = {Accelerators arrived to HPC when the power bill for
achieving Flop performance with traditional, homogeneous
systems became too expensive. By attaching graphic cards (or
many-core processors) to general purpose processors, certain
application kernels could be sped up at a much lower
Watt/flop rate.In 2011 the DEEP project recognised the
advantages that heterogeneous processors offered to HPC, but
raised the question whether the host-device approach chosen
until then for their integration was the most beneficial.
The proposed alternative was based on the construction of a
cluster of autonomous accelerators, so-called "Booster". The
"Cluster" and the "Booster" in DEEP are nothing else than
two compute modules with different hardware designs,
addressing each different application requirements. By
connecting each other with a high-speed network and
providing a full software stack that supports them jointly,
the resulting "Modular Supercomputer" behaves as a single
machine in which users can freely choose resources from any
of the compute modules.I will present the architecture and
concepts realised in the DEEP and DEEP-ER projects, some of
which are going into production this year within JSC's
JURECA system. A glimpse of the further developments planed
within the just started DEEP-EST project, will also be
presented.},
