However, an interesting debate surrounds the role of specific Instruction Set Architecture as an attribute of system innovation. We will look beyond the standard meme of energy efficiency and discuss how Instruction Set Architecture elements map to emerging issues in HPC. We’ll also explore the necessary attributes for HPC ISA, HPC processors, and the system around them to address the workloads that are driving us into exascale. Finally, we’ll look at how the ARM® ecosystem is driving innovation and how HPC researchers and developers can prepare for system deployments on ARMv8-based HPC systems.
