"Nvidia GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip" The Alps supercomputer is a high-performance computer funded by the Swiss Confederation through the ETH Domain , with its main location in Lugano . It is part of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), which provides computing services for selected scientific customers.
Grace Brewster Hopper (née Murray; December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. [1] She was a pioneer of computer programming.
Hopper allows CUDA compute kernels to utilize automatic inline compression, including in individual memory allocation, which allows accessing memory at higher bandwidth. This feature does not increase the amount of memory available to the application, because the data (and thus its compressibility ) may be changed at any time.
After the second world war he established the Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester where he created the project that built the world's first stored-program computer, the Manchester Baby. 1962 Nygaard, Kristen: With Ole-Johan Dahl, invented the proto-object oriented language SIMULA. 1642 Pascal, Blaise
Grace Hopper was the first person to design a compiler for a programming language. Throughout the 19th and early 20th century, and up to World War II , programming was predominantly done by women; significant examples include the Harvard Computers , codebreaking at Bletchley Park and engineering at NASA .
Richard Milton Bloch, Robert Campbell and Grace Hopper joined the project later as programmers. [6] In 1947, Aiken completed his work on the Harvard Mark II computer. He continued his work on the Mark III and the Harvard Mark IV. The Mark III used some electronic components and the Mark IV was all-electronic.
The Project Grace development in downtown Wilmington will house the New Hanover County Library's main branch and a new location for the Cape Fear Museum. First floor: Cape Fear Stories.
Even so, it took a while for compilers to become established, because they generated code that did not perform as well as hand-written assembler, they were daunting development projects in their own right, and the very limited memory capacity of early computers created many technical problems for practical compiler implementations.
