Abstract
We introduce Moore’s Law and Dennard scaling. They illustrate that further increases of compute capabilities will result from an increase in parallelism over the upcoming years; which implies that our codes have to be prepared to exploit this parallelism. We identify three levels of parallelism within a CPU (inter-node, intra-node and vector parallelism) and eventually characterise GPUs within these levels.
