Hello everybody,
Our CPU server is named after CYRUS, the Persian ancient ruler.
Now we have a GPU server, currently running only one Tesla K40, but will be upgraded to three K40 hopefully in few months.
Suggest some names for the server (in the comments). As we have already a Persian name for the CPU server, worth trying some Quebec, Canadian, or a French name this time.
Personally, I'm against names like that unless the individual has had remarkable effect on a certain field of science or humanity so that picking his/her name could be regarded as his/her tribute. As long as parallel computing, especially GPU computing is new and most of its contributors are still alive, it's better not to assign a person's name. Rather some sort of acronym or abbreviation could better sound for me, e.g. cuStat (Cuda+Statistics), GPUML (GPU+Machine Learning), PolyGPU (poly is ambiguous that can stand for either Polymtl or multipurpose GPU for computing as exactly GPU is), or similar names.
ReplyDeleteJe propose: PSG ou PSGPU (PolyStat GPU).
ReplyDeleteI am strongly agreed with Sajjad, specially PolyGPU is my favorite name.
ReplyDeletehow about PG?!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of naming a GPU? Of course, I'm not an expert in these computer things such as GPU or CPU or whatever. Can someone explain it to me why we need a name for them?
