NEC Vector Engine Accelerator Module

Are you looking for a mean to unleash your memory bandwidth bounded applications?

The NEC Vector Engine Accelerator with its unmatched memory bandwidth per core offers a balanced architecture for your Fortran and C/C++ codes to shine. Extremely large amount of data can be processed per cycle thanks to the native vector architecture. Moreover, users can easily exploit these capabilities via a standard development environment leveraged from the past decades of the vector supercomputers era.

Features

High Memory Bandwidth
- The NEC Vector Engine Accelerator has six integrated HBM2 modules providing 48 GB capacity and 1.2 TB/s bandwidth.
- Shared last level cache between the eight cores, facilitating shared memory parallelization.

Standard Programming Environment
- The NEC Vector Engine Accelerator does not require users to migrate their applications to a new programming environment. Existing Fortran and C/C++ codes will not have to be ported but simply recompiled for the NEC Vector Engine processor.
- Full software environment is available with compilers, libraries and tools, leveraged from decades of experience with vector machines. Compilers are able to vectorize and auto-parallelize loops. Parallelization with OpenMP and MPI is supported.
