The HPC gurus of the world may have started moving into the hyperscalers and cloud builders in recent years, but they don’t tend to work for vendors and they tend to stay in one place and lean in. …
There has been a lot of talk this week about what architectural direction Intel will be taking for its forthcoming exascale efforts. …
The exascale effort in the U.S. got a fresh injection with R&D funding set to course through six HPC vendors to develop scalable, reliable, and efficient architectures and components for new systems in the post-2020 timeframe. …
Exascale computing promises to bring significant changes to both the high-performance computing space and eventually enterprise datacenter infrastructures. …
Weather modeling and forecasting centers are among some of the top users of supercomputing systems and are at the top of the list when it comes to areas that could benefit from exascale-class compute power. …
The question is no longer whether or not the “El Capitan” supercomputer that has been in the process of being installed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for the past week – with photographic evidence to prove it – will be the most powerful system in the world. …
Back in the dawn of time, which is four decades ago in computer science and which was before technical computing went mainstream with the advent of Unix workstations and their beefy server cousins, the computer science students we knew at college had taught themselves BASIC on either TRS-80s or Commodore VICs and they went to college to learn something useful like COBOL and maybe got a smattering of C and Pascal, or occasionally even RPG, for variety. …
Sue Mniszewski has been a research staff member at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) for over forty years and in that time has watched several novel architectures come and go. …
The novel architectures story is still shaping out for 2017 when it comes machine learning, hyperscale, supercomputing and other areas. …
