Arm Neoverse Roadmap Brings CPU Designs, But No Big Fat GPU
Spoiler alert!
A lot of neat things have just been added to the Arm Neoverse datacenter compute roadmap, but one of them is not a datacenter-class, discrete GPU accelerator. …

A lot of neat things have just been added to the Arm Neoverse datacenter compute roadmap, but one of them is not a datacenter-class, discrete GPU accelerator. …
We don’t like a mystery and we particularly don’t like it when what is very likely the most powerful supercomputer in the world – at this time anyway – is veiled in secrecy. …
The only thing stronger than having absolute control, as happens in monopolies and oligopolies, is the strength that comes from numbers. …
In many ways, the “Grace” CG100 server processor created by Nvidia – its first true server CPU and a very useful adjunct for extending the memory space of its “Hopper” GH100 GPU accelerators – was designed perfectly for HPC simulation and modeling workloads. …
For more than a year, we have been expecting for Amazon Web Services to launch its Graviton4 processor for its homegrown servers at this year’s re:Invent, and lo and behold, chief executive officer Adam Selipsky rolled out the fourth generation in the Graviton CPU lineup – and the fifth iteration including last year’s overclocked Graviton3E processor aimed at HPC workloads – during his thrombosis-inducing keynote at the conference. …
Over the past few years, the Arm architecture has made steady gains, particularly among the hyperscalers and cloud builders. …
When hyperscalers and cloud builders think about their infrastructure, they talk about megawatts and they think about the mix of serving and storage and the total capacity that is delivered in a megawatt of power. …
We are still plowing through the many, many presentions from the Hot Interconnects, Hot Chips, Google Cloud Next, and Meta Networking @ Scale conferences that all happened recently and at essentially the same time. …
It takes too long to get a new compute engine in the field, and everybody complains about it. …
The largest clouds will always have to buy X86 processors from Intel or AMD so long as the enterprises of the world – and the governments and educational institutions who also consume a fair number of servers – have X86 applications that are not easily ported to Arm or RISC-V architectures. …
