GTC 2013: Pedraforca Is A Power Efficient ARM + GPU Cluster For Homogeneous (GPU) Workloads
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | March 20, 2013 - 01:47 PM | Tim Verry

There is a lot of talk about heterogeneous computing at GTC, in the sense of adding graphics cards to servers. If you have HPC workloads that can benefit from GPU parallelism, adding GPUs gives you computing performance in less physical space, and using less power, than a CPU only cluster (for equivalent TFLOPS).
However, there was a session at GTC that actually took things to the opposite extreme. Instead of a CPU only cluster or a mixed cluster, Alex Ramirez (leader of Heterogeneous Architectures Group at Barcelona Supercomputing Center) is proposing a homogeneous GPU cluster called Pedraforca.
Pedraforca V2 combines NVIDIA Tesla GPUs with low power ARM processors. Each node is comprised of the following components:
- 1 x Mini-ITX carrier board
1 x Q7 module (which hosts the ARM SoC and memory)
- Current config is one Tegra 3 @ 1.3GHz and 2GB DDR2
- 1 x NVIDIA Tesla K20 accelerator card (1170 GFLOPS)
- 1 x InfiniBand 40Gb/s card (via Mellanox ConnectX-3 slot)
- 1 x 2.5" SSD (SATA 3 MLC, 250GB)
The ARM processor is used solely for booting the system and facilitating GPU communication between nodes. It is not intended to be used for computing. According to Dr. Ramirez, in situations where running code on a CPU would be faster, it would be best to have a small number of Intel Xeon powered nodes to do the CPU-favorable computing, and then offload the parallel workloads to the GPU cluster over the InfiniBand connection (though this is less than ideal, Pedraforca would be most-efficient with data-sets that can be processed solely on the Tesla cards).
While Pedraforca is not necessarily locked to NVIDIA's Tegra hardware, it is currently the only SoC that meets their needs. The system requires the ARM chip to have PCI-E support. The Tegra 3 SoC has four PCI-E lanes, so the carrier board is using two PLX chips to allow the Tesla and InfiniBand cards to both be connected.
The researcher stated that he is also looking forward to using NVIDIA's upcoming Logan processor in the Pedraforca cluster. It will reportedly be possible to upgrade existing Pedraforca clusters with the new chips by replacing the existing (Tegra 3) Q7 module with one that has the Logan SoC when it is released.
Pedraforca V2 has an initial cluster size of 64 nodes. While the speaker was reluctant to provide TFLOPS performance numbers, as it would depend on the workload, with 64 Telsa K20 cards, it should provide respectable performance. The intent of the cluster is to save power costs by using a low power CPU. If your sever kernel and applications can run on GPUs alone, there are noticeable power savings to be had by switching from a ~100W Intel Xeon chip to a lower-power (approximately 2-3W) Tegra 3 processor. If you have a kernel that needs to run on a CPU, it is recommended to run the OS on an Intel server and transfer just the GPU work to the Pedraforca cluster. Each Pedraforca node is reportedly under 300W, with the Tesla card being the majority of that figure. Despite the limitations, and niche nature of the workloads and software necessary to get the full power-saving benefits, Pedraforca is certainly an interesting take on a homogeneous server cluster!
In another session relating to the path to exascale computing, power use in data centers was listed as one of the biggest hurdles to getting to Exaflop-levels of performance, and while Pedraforca is not the answer to Exascale, it should at least be a useful learning experience at wringing the most parallelism out of code and pushing GPGPU to the limits. And that research will help other clusters use the GPUs more efficiently as researchers explore the future of computing.
The Pedraforca project built upon research conducted on Tibidabo, a multi-core ARM CPU cluster, and CARMA (CUDA on ARM development kit) which is a Tegra SoC paired with an NVIDIA Quadro card. The two slides below show CARMA benchmarks and a Tibidabo cluster (click on image for larger version).

GTC 2013: TYAN Launches New HPC Servers Powered by Kepler-based Tesla Cards
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | March 19, 2013 - 06:52 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: GTC 2013, tyan, HPC, servers, tesla, kepler, nvidia
Server platform manufacturer TYAN is showing off several of its latest servers aimed at the high performance computing (HPC) market. The new servers range in size from 2U to 4U chassis and hold up to 8 Kepler-based Tesla accelerator cards. The new product lineup consists of two motherboards and three bare-bones systems. The S7055 and S7056 are the motherboards while the FT77-B7059, TA77-B7061, and FT48-B7055.
The TA77-B7061 is the smallest system, with support for two Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors and four Kepler-based Tesla accelerator cards. The FT48-B7055 has si7056 specifications but is housed in a 4U chassis. Finally, the FT77-B7059 is a 4U system with support for two Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors, and up to eight Tesla accelerator cards. The S7055 supports a maximum of 4 GPUs while the S7056 can support two Tesla cards, though these are bare boards so you will have to supply your own cards, processors, and RAM (of course).
According to TYAN, the new Kepler-based HPC systems will be available in Q2 2013, though there is no word on pricing yet.

Turn half your GTX 690 into a Quadro or Tesla?
Subject: General Tech | March 18, 2013 - 02:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, hack, GTX 690, K5000, K10, quadro, tesla, linux
It will take a bit of work with a soldering iron but Hack a Day has posted an article covering how to mod one of the GPUs on a GTX690 into thinking it is either a Quadro K5000 or Tesla K10. More people will need to apply this mod and test it to confirm that the performance of the GPU actually does match or at least compare to the professional level graphics but the ID string is definitely changed to match one of those two much more expensive GPUs. They also believe that a similar mod could be applied to the new TITAN graphics card as it is electronically similar to the GTX690. Of course, if things go bad during the modification you could kill a $1000 card so do be careful.
"If hardware manufacturers want to keep their firmware crippling a secret, perhaps they shouldn't mess with Linux users? We figure if you're using Linux you're quite a bit more likely than the average Windows user to crack something open and see what's hidden inside. And so we get to the story of how [Gnif] figured out that the NVIDIA GTX690 can be hacked to perform like the Quadro K5000. The thing is, the latter costs nearly $800 more than the former!"

Too good to be true; bad coding versus GPGPU compute power
Subject: General Tech | November 23, 2012 - 01:03 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gpgpu, amd, nvidia, Intel, phi, tesla, firepro, HPC
The skeptics were right to question the huge improvements seen when using GPGPUs in a system for heavy parallel computing tasks. The cards do help a lot but the 100x improvements that have been reported by some companies and universities had more to do with poorly optimized CPU code than with the processing power of GPGPUs. This news comes from someone who you might not expect to burst this particular bubble, Sumit Gupta is the GM of NVIDIA's Tesla team and he might be trying to mitigate any possible disappointment from future customers which have optimized CPU coding and won't see the huge improvements seen by academics and other current customers. The Inquirer does point out a balancing benefit, it is obviously much easier to optimize code in CUDA, OpenCL and other GPGPU languages than it is to code for multicored CPUs.
"Both AMD and Nvidia have been using real-world code examples and projects to promote the performance of their respective GPGPU accelerators for years, but now it seems some of the eye popping figures including speed ups of 100x or 200x were not down to just the computing power of GPGPUs. Sumit Gupta, GM of Nvidia's Tesla business told The INQUIRER that such figures were generally down to starting with unoptimised CPU."

NVIDIA Launches Tesla K20X Accelerator Card, Powers Titan Supercomputer
Subject: General Tech | November 12, 2012 - 06:29 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tesla, supercomputer, nvidia, k20x, HPC, CUDA, computing
Graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA launched a new Tesla K20X accelerator card today that supplants the existing K20 as the top of the line model. The new card cranks up the double and single precision floating point performance, beefs up the memory capacity and bandwidth, and brings some efficiency improvements to the supercomputer space.
While it is not yet clear how many CUDA cores the K20X has, NVIDIA has stated that it is using the GK110 GPU, and is running with 6GB of memory with 250 GB/s of bandwidth – a nice improvement over the K20's 5GB at 208 GB/s. Both the new K20X and K20 accelerator cards are based on the company's Kepler architecture, but NVIDIA has managed to wring out more performance from the K20X. The K20 is rated at 1.17 TFlops peak double precision and 3.52 TFlops peak single precision while the K20X is rated at 1.31 TFlops and 3.95 TFlops.
The K20X manages to score 1.22 TFlops in DGEmm, which puts it at almost three times faster than the previous generation Tesla M2090 accelerator based on the Fermi architecture.
Aside from pure performance, NVIDIA is also touting efficiency gains with the new K20X accelerator card. When two K20X cards are paired with a 2P Sandy Bridge server, NVIDIA claims to achieve 76% efficiency versus 61% efficiency with a 2P Sandy Bridge server equipped with two previous generation M2090 accelerator cards. Additionally, NVIDIA claims to have enabled the Titan supercomputer to reach the #1 spot on the top 500 green supercomputers thanks to its new cards with a rating of 2,120.16 MFLOPS/W (million floating point operations per second per watt).
NVIDIA claims to have already shipped 30 PFLOPS worth of GPU accelerated computing power. Interestingly, most of that computing power is housed in the recently unveiled Titan supercomputer. This supercomputer contains 18,688 Tesla K20X (Kepler GK110) GPUs and 299,008 16-core AMD Opteron 6274 processors. It will consume 9 megawatts of power and is rated at a peak of 27 Petaflops and 17.59 Petaflops during a sustained Linpack benchmark. Further, when compared to Sandy Bridge processors, the K20 series offers up between 8.2 and 18.1 times more performance at several scientific applications.
While the Tesla cards undoubtedly use more power than CPUs, you need far fewer numbers of accelerator cards than processors to hit the same performance numbers. That is where NVIDIA is getting its power efficiency numbers from.
NVIDIA is aiming the accelerator cards at researchers and businesses doing 3D graphics, visual effects, high performance computing, climate modeling, molecular dynamics, earth science, simulations, fluid dynamics, and other such computationally intensive tasks. Using CUDA and the parrallel nature of the GPU, the Tesla cards can acheive performance much higher than a CPU-only system can. NVIDIA has also engineered software to better parrellelize workloads and keep the GPU accelerators fed with data that the company calls Hyper-Q and Dynamic Parallelism respectively.
It is interesting to see NVIDIA bring out a new flagship, especially another GK110 card. Systems using the K20 and the new K20X are available now with cards shipping this week and general availability later this month.
You can find the full press release below and a look at the GK110 GPU in our preview.
Anandtech also managed to get a look inside the Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Labratory, where you can see the Tesla K20X cards in action.
NVIDIA Launches Maximus 2.0, Combining Kepler and Tesla
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | August 10, 2012 - 05:34 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tesla, quadro, nvidia, maximus, kepler, gk110
At SIGGRAPH 2012 NVIDIA announced a refresh of its Maximus workstation platform technology. Maximus is a technology aimed at professionals that work with simulations or content creation and editing. The updated platform features a Tesla K20 accelerator card as well as a Kepler-based NVIDIA Quadro K5000 graphics card. The K5000 in particular has 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus and 1536 CUDA cores. NVIDIA states that the Quadro graphics card has 2.1 Teraflops of single precision compute power and draws 122 watts.
The K20 on the other hand features a GK110 Kepler GPU with Dynamic Parallelism and Hyper Q features that reportedly enable more than 1 Teraflop of peak double precision performance. Unfortunately, we do not know much more than that on the new K20 Tesla card as the exact specifications are still listed as "to be announced." It is slated for a Q4 2012 release.
The Quadro K5000 workstation GPU
Beyond the hardware itself, the company's Maximus platform has received software support from several high-profile software companies and system integrators. Some of the companies that certify and support Maximus are Adobe, Autodesk, Mathworks, and Paradigm among others. Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, and Supermicro are OEMs that support the hardware and manufacture Maximus-powered workstations.
The Tesla K20 accelerator card.
The second-generation Maximus technology will be available in desktop workstations as early as December 2012. Further, the NVIDIA Quadro K5000 will be available for purchase as a separate discrete card in October 2012 for $2,249 (MSRP). The Tesla K20 will (for now) only be available integrated in a workstation, but NVIDIA lists the MSRP at $3,199.
More information on the NVIDIA Maximus refresh can be found in the company's press release.
NVIDIA's Tesla K10 offers serious single-precision performance

Tagged: nvidia, tesla, K10, GK104, HPC
One of NVIDIA 's line of Tesla HPC cards, the Tesla K10 has actually been seen in the wild. the new Tesla series is split between the GK104 based K10 model specifically designed for single-precision tasks and the GK110 based Tesla K20 and it is optimized for double-precision tasks. The K10 is capable of 4.58 teraflops thanks to a pair of GK104s with 8GB of GDDR5, whereas the K20 should in theory double Intel's Xeon Phi at 2 teraflops of double-precision performance but that has yet to be demonstrated. The K10 that was demonstrated also showed off another of the benefits of NVIDIA's new architecture, even with two GPUs the card remains within a 225W thermal envelop, something that is incredibly important if you are building a cluster. The Register has gathered together some of the benchmarks and slides from NVIDIA's release, which you can see here.
"The Top 500 supercomputer ranking is based on the performance of machines running the Linpack Fortran matrix math benchmark using double-precision floating point math, but a lot of applications will do just fine with single-precision math. And it is for these workloads, graphics chip maker and supercomputing upstart Nvidia says, that it designed the new Tesla K10 server coprocessors."

NVIDIA Pioneers New Standard for High Performance Computing with Tesla GPUs
Subject: Shows and Expos | May 15, 2012 - 03:43 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tesla, nvidia, GTC 2012, kepler, CUDA
SAN JOSE, Calif.—GPU Technology Conference—May 15, 2012—NVIDIA today unveiled a new family of Tesla GPUs based on the revolutionary NVIDIA Kepler GPU computing architecture, which makes GPU-accelerated computing easier and more accessible for a broader range of high performance computing (HPC) scientific and technical applications.
The new NVIDIA Tesla K10 and K20 GPUs are computing accelerators built to handle the most complex HPC problems in the world. Designed with an intense focus on high performance and extreme power efficiency, Kepler is three times as efficient as its predecessor, the NVIDIA Fermi architecture, which itself established a new standard for parallel computing when introduced two years ago.
"Fermi was a major step forward in computing," said Bill Dally, chief scientist and senior vice president of research at NVIDIA. "It established GPU-accelerated computing in the top tier of high performance computing and attracted hundreds of thousands of developers to the GPU computing platform. Kepler will be equally disruptive, establishing GPUs broadly into technical computing, due to their ease of use, broad applicability and efficiency."
The Tesla K10 and K20 GPUs were introduced at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC), as part of a series of announcements from NVIDIA, all of which can be accessed in the GTC online press room.
NVIDIA developed a set of innovative architectural technologies that make the Kepler GPUs high performing and highly energy efficient, as well as more applicable to a wider set of developers and applications. Among the major innovations are:
- SMX Streaming Multiprocessor – The basic building block of every GPU, the SMX streaming multiprocessor was redesigned from the ground up for high performance and energy efficiency. It delivers up to three times more performance per watt than the Fermi streaming multiprocessor, making it possible to build a supercomputer that delivers one petaflop of computing performance in just 10 server racks. SMX's energy efficiency was achieved by increasing its number of CUDA architecture cores by four times, while reducing the clock speed of each core, power-gating parts of the GPU when idle and maximizing the GPU area devoted to parallel-processing cores instead of control logic.
- Dynamic Parallelism – This capability enables GPU threads to dynamically spawn new threads, allowing the GPU to adapt dynamically to the data. It greatly simplifies parallel programming, enabling GPU acceleration of a broader set of popular algorithms, such as adaptive mesh refinement, fast multipole methods and multigrid methods.
- Hyper-Q – This enables multiple CPU cores to simultaneously use the CUDA architecture cores on a single Kepler GPU. This dramatically increases GPU utilization, slashing CPU idle times and advancing programmability. Hyper-Q is ideal for cluster applications that use MPI.
"We designed Kepler with an eye towards three things: performance, efficiency and accessibility," said Jonah Alben, senior vice president of GPU Engineering and principal architect of Kepler at NVIDIA. "It represents an important milestone in GPU-accelerated computing and should foster the next wave of breakthroughs in computational research."
NVIDIA Tesla K10 and K20 GPUs
The NVIDIA Tesla K10 GPU delivers the world's highest throughput for signal, image and seismic processing applications. Optimized for customers in oil and gas exploration and the defense industry, a single Tesla K10 accelerator board features two GK104 Kepler GPUs that deliver an aggregate performance of 4.58 teraflops of peak single-precision floating point and 320 GB per second memory bandwidth.
The NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU is the new flagship of the Tesla GPU product family, designed for the most computationally intensive HPC environments. Expected to be the world's highest-performance, most energy-efficient GPU, the Tesla K20 is planned to be available in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The Tesla K20 is based on the GK110 Kepler GPU. This GPU delivers three times more double precision compared to Fermi architecture-based Tesla products and it supports the Hyper-Q and dynamic parallelism capabilities. The GK110 GPU is expected to be incorporated into the new Titan supercomputer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and the Blue Waters system at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
"In the two years since Fermi was launched, hybrid computing has become a widely adopted way to achieve higher performance for a number of critical HPC applications," said Earl C. Joseph, program vice president of High-Performance Computing at IDC. "Over the next two years, we expect that GPUs will be increasingly used to provide higher performance on many applications."
Preview of CUDA 5 Parallel Programming Platform
In addition to the Kepler architecture, NVIDIA today released a preview of the CUDA 5 parallel programming platform. Available to more than 20,000 members of NVIDIA's GPU Computing Registered Developer program, the platform will enable developers to begin exploring ways to take advantage of the new Kepler GPUs, including dynamic parallelism.
The CUDA 5 parallel programming model is planned to be widely available in the third quarter of 2012. Developers can get access to the preview release by signing up for the GPU Computing Registered Developer program on the CUDA website.

- Our advisory editor Hilton Als has an "emotional retrospective"—"One Man Show: Holly, Candy, Bobbie, and the Rest"—at the Artist's Institute. Seph Rodney paid a visit: "The retrospective consists mainly of portraits, photographs found, taken, owned or commissioned by Als. He's added colored light bulbs, placed next to the images to give the space a nightclub feel, with certain corners red and sultry, others yellow or blue, and some lime green. The institute's town house with its hardwood floors, fireplace, and separate rooms is an apt place for this exhibition; the setting conveys a sense of intimacy with what are essentially Als's ghosts. Walking the rooms you want to treat these unfamiliar memories—many of the characters depicted are only known to Als—with tenderness … The retrospective mirrors his critical writing: it's deeply personal resonances refracted by his keen analytical attention so that intimate friends, historical moments, and his own self and experiences are progressively unpacked until the reader sees how they intersect and inform each other."
- The artist Jenny Holzer has been projecting words onto buildings since 1991. Thus Henri Cole has seen several of his poems illuminated as "the touch of light against the surface of public spaces": "Seeing my poems projected in this way, onto landscapes and buildings, I feel that the words leap out from a different zone, where they are observed as much as read. Language is more direct, open, unself-conscious, precise, and human. It doesn't belong to me anymore but to the atmosphere, and this makes me happy. In Holzer's installations, words—not images—strive to say something true, often about love, death, sex, war, or forgiveness."
- Breaking: Hilary Mantel's writing process reveals, emphatically, that this whole "novelist" thing is no mere pastime for her. "Some writers claim to extrude a book at an even rate like toothpaste from a tube, or to build a story like a wall, so many feet per day. They sit at their desk and knock off their word quota, then frisk into their leisured evening, preening themselves. This is so alien to me that it might be another trade entirely … The most frequent question writers are asked is some variant on, 'Do you write every day, or do you just wait for inspiration to strike?' I want to snarl, 'Of course I write every day, what do you think I am, some kind of hobbyist?' But I understand the question is really about the central mystery—what is inspiration? Eternal vigilance, in my opinion. Being on the watch for your material, day or night, asleep or awake."
- An interview with Adonis, the Syrian poet in exile, finds him dismissing the idea that ISIS can write poems: "You cannot compare the bomb with the poem. You should not draw this comparison. Any ignorant bullet can change a regime, any despicable bullet can kill a great person, like Kennedy, for example. You cannot draw such a comparison because it is fundamentally wrong. Making poetry is like making air, like making perfume, like breathing. It cannot be measured by materialistic standards. This is why poetry despises war and is never related to it … poetry is a social phenomenon. When culture is a part of everyday life, everyone is a poet and everyone is a novelist. You now have thousands of novelists. But if you found five who are good to read, then you are in a good place. In America … there are thousands of novels; you will find five or six good ones, and the rest is garbage. The same goes for the Arabs. All Arabs are poets, but 95 percent of them are rubbish."
- "The food of the true revolutionary," Mao once said, "is the red pepper." Which is great, unless you happen to be an aspiring revolutionary with a weak stomach. How, at any rate, did the pepper come to enlist itself as an agent of Maoism? "For years culinary detectives have been on the chili pepper's trail, trying to figure out how a New World import became so firmly rooted in Sichuan, a landlocked province on the southwestern frontier of China … Food historians have pointed to the province's hot and humid climate, the principles of Chinese medicine, the constraints of geography, and the exigencies of economics. Most recently neuropsychologists have uncovered a link between the chili pepper and risk-taking. The research is provocative because the Sichuan people have long been notorious for their rebellious spirit; some of the momentous events in modern Chinese political history can be traced back to Sichuan's hot temper."
Now Online: Our Interviews with Elena Ferrante, Hilary Mantel, and Lydia Davis
June 3, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
Before we commence with the dog and pony show for our brand spanking new Summer issue, you should know that the three interviews from our Spring issue are now available in full online.
These include the first-ever in-person interview with Elena Ferrante, who discusses her Neopolitan Novels, her reticence as a public figure, and her approach to her readership:
I publish to be read. It's the only thing that interests me about publication. So I employ all the strategies I know to capture the reader's attention, stimulate curiosity, make the page as dense as possible and as easy as possible to turn. But once I have the reader's attention I feel it is my right to pull it in whichever direction I choose. I don't think the reader should be indulged as a consumer, because he isn't one. Literature that indulges the tastes of the reader is a degraded literature. My goal is to disappoint the usual expectations and inspire new ones.
And Mona Simpson's interview with Hilary Mantel, who talks about her Cromwell books, the difference between historians and novelists, and the difference between the early and contemporary stages of her career:
When I began writing I had a perfect belief that, although I might not know how to do many things, I did know how to write a novel. Other people might have disputed that, looking at my efforts, and no one was in a hurry to endorse my confidence, but I did know within myself that I could write a novel. The reason was I'd read so many that the pattern was internalized. I've always been an intensely ambitious individual and whatever I was going to do, I was not going to let go until I got where I thought I ought to be. It's a question of, What will you sacrifice? What other things will you let go, to clear the space for your book? What develops later is something rather different, as you proceed from book to book, every book throwing up different demands, needing different techniques.
Plus, in the Art of Fiction No. 227, Lydia Davis explores her approach to the short story, and to translations, and reflects on the influence her family life had on her process:
We also left each other notes when there was a family conflict. I guess it was my mother's idea that we should put it in writing, or that we should articulate it, because I can see our different handwriting going back and forth over this problem, whatever it was. I thought it was kind of a terrible thing that we did that in my family. Because it made writing ... oh, the text became full of emotion. I still have some of the notes that my mother left for me. In fact, we did a little dialogue … I suppose that was part of the family training—Let's try to figure this out. Here's how I feel, you tell me how you feel. It is a way to work out some emotional situations, and certainly that went on in our house. It's just that when I come across those long messages from my mother it fills me with sadness.

Staff Picks: Crosscurrents, Kandy Kat, Casino Cohesion
May 8, 2015 | by The Paris Review
In my mind, I've created a dream exhibition of portraiture by Alice Neel, Mickalene Thomas, and Hope Gangloff: crosscurrents of eroticism, identity, bodies, and embellishment. For now, I'll settle for a show of new portraits by Gangloff, whose paintings are gratifyingly overstuffed with garish details rendered in contrasting patterns and in nips of fluorescent orange and extravagant swathes of hot pink. There's a funny play between color and patterning in her work—the elements are at once discordant and of a piece, excessive and sensible. There's something of that, too, in Charles Burchfield's watercolors, on view a couple blocks south. Burchfield saw a second plane of reality, a spiritual palimpsest shimmering over the world you and I see. The scenes he painted are heightened versions of the real thing, electrified and otherworldly but always recognizable. In a study of what looks like a denuded landscape, his ghostly outlines of trees become visible, lightly filling in and giving life to the empty hills. Color also seems to exist in the spiritual realm. A note on an ink sketch reads, "Leaves a hot red (tinged with umber?), as glowing embers of a dying fire." —Nicole Rudick

The Flexible, Forgeable American Signature, and Other News
May 1, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- On etiquette, art, and the increasing complications of public space: "Taking a selfie in a museum may be disruptive to others, and antithetical to the experience of art, yet given the option, most people will avoid walking through the line of sight and ruining someone else's photograph … In the end, that is the fundamental paradox of art and public space: We go there both to be free and to submit."
- The Patriots' tight end Shrek Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski has inspired a cottage industry—people can't seem to write enough erotic novels about the guy. (Sample salaciousness: "Suddenly, all I wanted to do was watch Gronk do his thang-thang in the zone place there. My vagina demanded it.") Now a couple is suing the author of A Gronking to Remember for using their image on her cover without permission.
- "Historical fiction has become a byword for middlebrow wasteland." But Hilary Mantel and Penelope Fitzgerald, whom critics are fond of comparing, have written novels that make a compelling case for the genre—so much so that people have started bickering about whether they're really "historical" fiction at all …
- "I think something happened, somewhere around Love's Labour's Lost and the early history plays and going into Romeo and Juliet. Either he fell in love or he just grew up, but something happened to him where he suddenly 'got it' about women and there was a profound shift in his writing." In which Shakespeare gets acquainted with the female psyche.
- The demise of the signature: a new poll suggests that very few Americans give a hoot about our John Hancocks. "While 61% of responders sign paper at least once a week or more, nearly half do so in a hurry and a full 30% just scribble something fast to get it done … 30% said they have a 'flexible' signature, with 64% saying it's because of computer use. A full 81% of people admitted to faking someone's signature three or more times a year, and a quarter said they wouldn't be able to tell if someone had forged their own."
Atticus Lish Wins Plimpton Prize; Mark Leyner Wins Terry Southern Prize
March 3, 2015 | by The Paris Review
Each year, at our Spring Revel, the board of The Paris Review awards two prizes for outstanding contributions to the magazine. It is with great pleasure that we announce our 2015 honorees.
The Plimpton Prize for Fiction is a $10,000 award given to a new voice from our last four issues. Named after our longtime editor George Plimpton, it commemorates his zeal for discovering new writers. This year's Plimpton Prize will be presented by Hilary Mantel to Atticus Lish for his story "Jimmy," from issue 210—an excerpt from his novel Preparation for the Next Life.
The Terry Southern Prize is a $5,000 award honoring "humor, wit, and sprezzatura" in work from either The Paris Review or the Daily. Perhaps best known as the screenwriter behind Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider, Terry Southern was also a satirical novelist, a pioneering New Journalist, and a driving force behind the early Paris Review. This year's prize will be presented by Donald Antrim to Mark Leyner for "Gone with the Mind," a story from our new Spring issue.
Hearty congratulations from all of us on staff!
(And if you haven't bought your ticket to attend the Revel—supporting the magazine and writers you love—isn't this the time?)
Now in Bloom: Our Spring Issue
March 2, 2015 | by The Paris Review
The cherry blossoms on the cover of our new Spring issue augur the end of winter—even if they're made of paper. They're part of a portfolio by Thomas Demand, accompanied by poems from Ben Lerner.
We also have the first-ever in-person interview with Elena Ferrante, on the art of fiction:
As a girl—twelve, thirteen years old—I was absolutely certain that a good book had to have a man as its hero, and that depressed me … At fifteen I began to write stories about brave girls who were in serious trouble. But the idea remained—indeed, it grew stronger—that the greatest narrators were men and that one had to learn to narrate like them … Even when I wrote stories about girls, I wanted to give the heroine a wealth of experiences, a freedom, a determination that I tried to imitate from the great novels written by men.
And Lydia Davis, on her approach to the short story, to translation, and to naming:
I've always felt that naming was artificial. I've done it. I wrote about one woman and called her Mrs. Orlando, because the woman I based her on lived in Florida. Recently I wrote a story called "The Two Davises and the Rug" because I have a neighbor named Davis and he and I were trying to decide which one should end up with a certain rug, and I was very fond of using that name, even though it wouldn't make much difference to anybody if I called it "The Two Harrises and the Rug."
Plus, Hilary Mantel discusses her Cromwell books and the difference between historians and novelists:
Nobody seems to share my approach to historical fiction. I suppose if I have a maxim, it is that there isn't any necessary conflict between good history and good drama. I know that history is not shapely, and I know the truth is often inconvenient and incoherent. It contains all sorts of superfluities. You could cut a much better shape if you were God, but as it is, I think the whole fascination and the skill is in working with those incoherencies.
There's new fiction by Angela Flournoy, Ken Kalfus, and Mark Leyner, the winner of this year's Terry Southern Prize; a novella by James Lasdun; and poems from Charles Simic, Peter Gizzi, Major Jackson, Stephen Dunn, Susan Stewart, Shuzo Takiguchi, Craig Morgan Teicher, and Sarah Trudgeon.
Mel Bochner, who designed a cover for the magazine back in 1973, is back with a portfolio of thesaurus paintings. And last, there's "Letter from the Primal Horde," an essay by J. D. Daniels about a fateful experience at a group-relations conference.

Preserving Christmas trees in the pool? Not the best idea
Can you extend the life of your Christmas tree by chucking it into the backyard pool for about 24 hours?
Some people said it's a great idea, but pool experts said it could turn out to be a costly experiment.
"I have heard of a lot of silly things, but I would absolutely not do it," said Ralph Hartsing with B & L Pool Supplies.
Hartsing said one of the main problems is the phosphates in the tree.
"When it gets in touch with chlorine, it turns the chlorine against itself," he said. "Instead of killing bacteria and killing algae, no matter how much chlorine you put into the pool, you'll be giving the algae a food source."
Another other problem exists if the tree loses needles while dunked under water for any period of time.
"Those needles get in the filter, clogs up the impeller in the motor," said Hartsing. "You can't draw water through, it runs dry, burns up and you have to replace the motor."

Campa, Barrera, Magomedov win on HBO Latino card
Unbeaten Mexican prospect Pedro Campa won his U.S. debut, a 10-round decision over Aaron Herrera on Saturday at the Civic Auditorium in Glendale, California.
Unbeaten Mexican prospect Pedro Campa won his U.S. debut, a 10-round decision over Aaron Herrera on Saturday at the Civic Auditorium in Glendale, California.
Welterweights Pedro Campa and Aaron Herrera will square off in an HBO Latino/Top Rank Promotions main event on Dec. 12.
WBA light heavyweight beltholder Beibut Shumenov talks about his near-death experience as an infant, called IBF counterpart Bernard Hopkins "the best champion" in the 175-pound division, and said he was shocked to hear the controversial comments that WBO titleholder Sergey Kovalev recently made about African Americans.
Richard Schaefer on being chosen Promoter of The Year by Sports Illustrated: "In the end, this is all about the fans of our great sport and I will continue to deliver the best fights and fighters to them in 2014 and beyond."
Saturday's win by Marcos Maidana to dethrone Adrien Broner as WBA welterweight titleholder drew 1.3 million viewers, Showtime's Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sports, Stephen Espinoza, announced on Tuesday.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said that he would begin working on a light heavyweight title unification bout between IBF titleholder Bernard Hopkins and WBA beltholder Beibut Shumenov "immediately."
IBF light heavyweight titleholder Bernard Hopkins is scheduled to be a guest on Wednesday's episode of The Arsenio Hall Show.
IBF light heavyweight beltholder Bernard Hopkins says he hopes to unify the all of the major titles in the 175-pound divison prior to his 50th birthday.
Super middleweight champ Andre Ward said that Gennady Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson are being made out to be "The Boogey Men of their divisions."
When Lee Groves was tabbed to work the CompuBox keys for the Showtime Championship Boxing card topped by Bernard Hopkins' IBF light heavyweight title defense against Karo Murat he was thrilled. When he found out it was to be staged in Atlantic City, he was even happier because of the city's historic place in boxing.
Bernard Hopkins drew a large audience for his unanimous decision victory over Karo Murat. The IBF light heavyweight title bout was televised on Showtime.
Karo Murat, who lost a unanimous decision to IBF light heavyweight titleholder Bernard Hopkins, dropped in the 175-pound rankings; Peter Quillin, who scored a 10th-round TKO of Gabriel Rosado, took a small step forward at middleweight; and Kell Brook, who remained unbeaten with a fourth-round stoppage of Vyacheslav Senchenko, held his place at welterweight.
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer plans to have Canelo Alvarez fight three times in 2014. Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto and middleweight champ Sergio Martinez are among the top opponent considerations for Alvarez.
IBF light heavyweight titleholder Bernard Hopkins has some options on what he does next but he says he's looking for a "super fight" for his next bout and would like to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a middleweight.
Fans share their thoughts, both pro and con (but mostly pro), on living legend Bernard Hopkins' latest victory, heavyweight puncher Deontay Wilder's latest KO, Peter Quillin's controversial stoppage of game Gabriel Rosado, and British welterweight sensation Kell Brook's future in this week's Monday mailbag.
Action shots from Atlantic City of Bernard Hopkins UD 12 Karo Murat, Peter Quillin TKO 10 Gabriel Rosado and Deontay Wilder KO 4 Nicolai Firtha. Photos by Naoki Fukuda.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is looking to name an opponent for Canelo Alvarez as early as next week. Popular Puerto Rican veteran Miguel Cotto is the most lucrative option for the young Mexican star.
Bernard Hopkins, boxing's oldest champion ever, had to endure a lot of rough stuff from 30-year-old challenger Karo Murat during their fight on Saturday in Atlantic City, but that spurred the 48-year-old boxing master to fight a more aggressive fight en route to retaining his IBF light heavyweight title with a wide unanimous decision.
Heavyweight KO artist Deontay Wilder scored two knockdowns in the first round and another in the fourth and final round of Saturday's knockout of Nicolai Firtha.
Adrien Broner on what to expect from his upcoming bout with Marcos Maidana: "You're going to see an electrifying victory from Adrien 'The Problem' Broner. You will see why I'm the lottery pick to take over this sport."

After googling Brian Kingsfield I see he has been ripping people off for years and is wanted by the FBI.
When I tried to reach him, a disgruntled employee said that Brian Kingsfield was out of the office and had been for over a week. He said he was on a crack cocaine binge and had not paid his staff.
Can anyone help me find him? I know he has a daughter in California. Does he visit her?

Frozen Synapse Cons:
- Navigating menus is a little confusing
- Buttons around the perimeter give the game a slightly cluttered look
Frozen Synapse puts you in control of a small squad of elite soldiers who square off against a rival group of equally-skilled baddies in a fight for survival. You can engage in Multiplayer/AI skirmishes or a 55-mission, single-player Campaign that sees you clearing rooms, escorting persons of interest, defending zones, and the like. There are a handful of game types such as Extermination, Secure, Disputed, Hostage, and Charge, each with Light or Dark options. Light games allow you to monitor enemy movements at all times, while they can similarly see where your squad is and where they go. The Dark variation only allows each player to see the enemy when he is in a squad member's line of sight. In this mode, the element of surprise is a huge aspect of gameplay that significantly ramps up the excitement. Battles play out from a top-down perspective in randomly-generated environments full of rooms, pillars, and open areas. There are also a number of half-height walls and objects behind which you can duck and fire that offer cover, as well. Squads are composed of some number of machine gunners, shotgunners, grenadiers, rocket launchers, and snipers, each with advantages as far as rate of fire, range, and so on. Their initial positioning on a map is also randomized to make things interesting. There is no option to upgrade the abilities of your crew, which keeps everyone on an even plane and forces you to rely on cunning tactics rather than brute force to win. Much like a game of chess, you'll need to outthink your opponent more than anything else.
The gameplay itself hinges on anticipating what the enemy will do, maneuvering into advantageous positioning, and issuing commands to your units via waypoints. You can pinch the screen to zoom in and out (to an impressively close level) and drag around the screen to pan. Simply tap on any unit to make it active, than double-tap a spot on the map to create a new waypoint. The game automatically handles wayfinding around objects, though you can also override this as necessary by applying a direct waypoint from a pull-out menu in the lower corner. There are a bunch of specialized commands in this drawer, but the most common and frequently-used command have persistent buttons around the screen border. Tapping a waypoint (or even a point along the path line) will make it the active item, allowing you to apply additional commands when your unit reaches that point, such as aiming, canceling a previous aim command, engaging on sight, continuing on sight, standing, ducking, waiting, and more. You can also reposition a waypoint by dragging an active point to a different spot or remove commands/waypoints with the delete button. Units will move slower when an aim order is active, and they will stop cold when told to engage on sight if an enemy comes into view.
A handful of factors contribute to determining which unit is more likely to kill another in which he is engaged, including cover, stillness, and aim. Turns take place in 5-second intervals, and you can check how your commands will be carried out before committing by hitting the play button. The option to give the opposition a set of moves to carry out exists, too. Otherwise, they will simply stay put, which is an unlikely position to find them in when the next turn plays out. You can adjust as necessary and, once your units each have a satisfactory set of commands, tap the Prime button to commit your plans. When playing a single-player game, the next move will play out momentarily. In a Multiplayer match, you may have to wait for your opponent to finish his turn, which could be a matter of moments, hours, days, or whenever he gets around to it. Units engage with each other automatically (unless instructed otherwise), and victory is achieved by killing all of your opponents before they kill you. Some modes have additional goals (collecting items, gaining more territory than your opponent, etc.) and some formats even apply a turn-limit that will end a game if neither player can complete his goal before a pre-defined number of turns have played out.
Graphically, Frozen Synapse has a stylish neon aesthetic, with dark blue full-height walls and light blue half-height walls standing out against the black backdrop. Your units glow green, while the opposition glows red. Yellow units are hostages to be protected, and grey ghost units represent the last-known location of an enemy in Dark mode. Enemy types are easily distinguished by a persistent icon that indicates what type of weapon the unit uses. Killed units typically spray red blood and engage in a neat death animation, though they remain on-screen and can be confused for an active unit at a glance from a zoomed-out viewpoint. Rockets will explode walls into a shower of blue pixels, many of which remain scattered nearby for the duration of the match. The UI feels a little cluttered, with transparent buttons covering most of the perimeter of the screen. You'll need to pan a good deal to move areas of interest out from behind buttons. It can be easy to forget and tap a button when you think you are setting a waypoint, for example. However, without access to the right-click action available in the PC version, some concessions need to be made. Despite its appearance, having quick access to most of these buttons at a moment's notice is necessary. The movement animations are fantastic, and the whole presentation is quite realistic. The mellow electronica soundtrack is outstanding, and gunfight sound effects are well done. The controls are generally easy to use, and the intuitive way we can zoom, pan, and set waypoints is much preferred to using a mouse and keyboard on the PC.
While the Campaign and AI Skirmishes are great when you are away from a data/wi-fi connection, the real excitement comes from matching wits with players from around the world. A hot seat mode even allows you to go head-to-head with a buddy on the same device. Multiplayer matches can be set up directly with friends or you can seek random opponents. ELO ratings allow you to gauge the skill of your opponent, too. You can create games by tweaking a variety of parameters, and you can watch past matches (even if you weren't involved) to devise strategies used by other players. Cross-play allows you to switch seamlessly between devices so that you can start a game on PC or iPad, pick it up later on the other device, and switch back to the original as you see fit. An upcoming Android version will open up additional hardware to play on and switch between. Multiplayer works very well and is one of our favorite aspects of the game.
Replay value is outstanding, as every game is different and strategies/tactics change on the fly. The AI is crafty and can keep you engaged for quite some time, but wiping out real-world opponents is the real draw. A series of tutorial videos walk you through the basics, as it can feel a bit overwhelming to start. We are extremely impressed with how well it works on mobile and look forward to continuing our obsession wherever and whenever we like. The popular Red DLC mode is listed within the app as coming soon, which should add co-op play and a bunch of other awesome enhancements. It's disappointing that we cannot play on our iPods or iPhones, but it's easy to see that the UI would be too cramped on the smaller devices. At $6.99, Frozen Synapse is a 5-Dimple stud and probably our favorite iPad game thus far.

Photos: Ortiz Finishes Hard Work For Lucas Matthysse
By Jesus Gomez, notifight.com
Mexico's WBC silver junior welterweight champion, undefeated Roberto "Massa" Ortiz (31-0-1, 24KOs), finished up his long training camp for the upcoming shootout with Argentinian power puncher Lucas Matthysse (35-3, 33KOs), taking place this coming Saturday night at the US Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. The winner will certainly be in line for a world title shot against current champion Danny Garcia, who may move up in weight to the welterweight limit of 147-pounds.

Fear abounds; on blogs, television, schools, nations, churches. Fear seeps in and makes us cling to the comfort of what we know which leads to a false sense of security. Fear denies, pushes away and closes off. Fear makes us forget that sacrifice is necessary for life.
Perfection, for me, was the mask hiding my fear. I only handled matters I knew something about and pretended to know about issues I did not understand. But something shifted as I learned to take the mask off. I didn't need to know all of the answers any more. A change occurred in my soul as I became teachable from other people's experiences and stories. Together we could make a way through the fuzziness to be seen and so much of life is about just being visible to one another.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

City paid health care
The New Albany Board of Aldermen has voted to provide health care benefits for the city prosecuting attorney and city judge.
We think it is a case of bad personnel-management practice. The vote was 4 to 1 to add money for the benefits to the city budget for the coming fiscal year. Scott Dunnam, alderman-at-large, dissented.
Dunnam said he voted against the proposal because he considers them part-time positions and the city's employee handbook stipulates that part-time jobs do not carry medical benefits.
Mayor Tim Kent said the other members of the board do not believe the jobs are part-time because they receive a small annual salary and are not paid by the hour. The city attorney already receives medical benefits, he said.
The decision to provide the prosecuting attorney and city judge health benefits at taxpayer expense came after the board voted earlier last month to hire former city attorney Bobby Carter as the city prosecutor. Steve Livingston currently serves as the city judge.
We don't think any of the three jobs should include taxpayer-funded benefits. Attorneys serving in these positions are expected to have their own practices.
And it is uncommon for part-time employees in the private sector to be provided company-paid health care.
