Peking University ports ABACUS DFT software to Huawei Kunpeng 920, achieving significant speedups

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers from Peking University have successfully adapted the DFT software package ABACUS to run on Huawei's Kunpeng 920 processor. This porting effort involved optimizing 19 core operators, resulting in performance improvements ranging from 1.3x to 3.9x compared to a standard 28-core x86 CPU. The team also reported up to a 10.7x speedup on specific matrix operations. AI
