No one like the R word, but we don’t shy away from data and calling it like we see it. And from what we can see from the most recent market research coming out of IDC, the Ethernet switch market has been in recession for two quarters now and very …
SPONSORED POST: The 2024 edition of Lenovo Tech World promises an in-depth discussion on the future of innovation centered on AI and computing. The event is scheduled for October 15th, and visitors can either attend in person in Bellevue, WA in the US or sign up to stream and watch …
Like many a decade ago, we were enthusiastic about the prospect of triple-hybrid systems in the datacenter. We were convinced that there was a place for CPUs, for GPUs, and for FPGAs in complex and high performance systems because each of these devices were really good at different things and …
COMMISSIONED: Robust data governance is key to ethical, compliant, and efficient AI projects. Here’s why the balance between innovation and responsibility is delicate, but crucial. In a bustling New York office, a data scientist named Emily is racing against the clock. Her team is developing an AI algorithm intended to revolutionize …
You know what the hardest thing about building an AI system is? No, it is not getting your hands on GPUs to do processing, and no it is not getting the budget together to do a GenAI project. If you can’t convince your company to spend at least a little …
Intel has been talking about its “Granite Rapids” Xeon 6 processors for so long that it would be easy to forget that they have not yet been formally announced. But today, the high end of the “Granite Rapids” server CPU lineup makes its debut, several weeks before AMD is widely …

Waferscale compute engine and AI system maker Cerebras Systems has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to sell a chunk of itself to the public, giving we outsiders a view of the past two and a half years of its internal financials. Those financials reveal how much Cerebras …
Neither scientific progress nor the budgetary process can wait for compute engine and interconnect roadmaps. At some point, an HPC center is at a cadence for upgrading its supercomputers that is difficult to change, and you get the best supercomputer you can get at any time and you try not …
When you need to provide electricity to power and cool 100,000 accelerators, or maybe even 1 million of them in a few years, in a single location to run an AI model, you have to start thinking about the unthinkable if you also want to use carbon-free juice to power …
UPDATED With its Graviton 4 homegrown Graviton 4 Arm server processors, Amazon Web Services has put into the field a CPU that can compete with all but the toppest of bin parts from AMD for X86 CPUs and Ampere Computing and Nvidia for Arm CPUs, and it is driving price/performance …
Intel needs a whole lot of big wins for both its chip design and selling business and its increasingly arm’s length foundry business if it is going to turn itself around and be competitive with AMD and Nvidia on the left hand and with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co on its …
The concrete has been poured and the first containers that will house the exascale-class “Jupiter” system at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany are being lifted into place for the modular datacenter that will be the home of the massive machine. These days, given the complexities and densities of compute, power, and …
It has become a well known fact these days that the switches that are used to interconnect distributed systems are not the most expensive part of that network, but rather it is the optical transceivers and fiber optic cables that comprise the bulk of the cost. Because of this, and …
Despite a slow start several years ago, Oracle has refashioned itself into a cloud builder, rapidly expanding its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to make it among the top second-tier providers, although still well behind the likes of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The longtime database and middleware giant …
For a decade before the generative AI boom took off in late 2022, classical artificial intelligence, used for all kinds of self-learning predictive algorithms, was destined to be a very large component of the IT stack at most organizations in the world. With all of the excitement around GenAI, it …
