Astronomy is the oldest research arena, but the technologies required to process the massive amount of data created from radio telescope arrays represents some of the most bleeding-edge research in modern computer science. …
We made a joke – sort of – many years ago when we started this publication that the future compute engines would look more like a GPU card than they did a server as we knew it back then. …
If you wanted to wrest control of datacenter compute as embodied mainly in the Xeon SP processor away from Intel, there are a number of approaches that you might take. …
There are many good processors out there, but there are few that are excellent and elegant inasmuch as they are co-designed for specific workloads and then do them very well. …
Micron has a habit of building interesting research prototypes that offer a vague hope of commercialization for the sheer purpose of learning how to make its own memory and storage subsystem approaches more tuned to next generation applications. …
Fujitsu has given us a peek at the future A64FX Arm server processor that it has forged for the future “Post-K” supercomputer that is being built by the Japanese government for the RIKEN laboratory, arguably the hotbed of HPC in the Land of the Rising Sun. …
The last decade, and few years in particular, have brought a bevy of new architectures to bear for a market keen to understand what comes after Moore’s Law. …
The processing world would be a whole lot less diverse and interesting if it were not for a healthy amount of nationalism. …
There have been several chip startups over the last few years that have sought to new ways to train and execute neural networks efficiently, but why reinvent the wheel when each idea has yielded at least one small piece of a much bigger performance picture? …
