High performance computing hardware is really a software game, and the software we are referring to is at a very low level where deep expertise in libraries and solvers can make the difference between a capable device performing up to its specifications and, well, not so much. …
The use of FPGAs in HPC is limited less by the capabilities of current hardware and more by the challenges in programming them without sacrificing performance. …
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. …
At the last five annual Supercomputing Conferences, an underlying theme has been the potential of accelerators. …
The accelerator story for top supercomputers is a strong one, starting with GPUs, which were snapped in as coprocessors on some of the world’s largest systems over the last five years. …
NICE EnginFrame lets you manage your HPC workloads, wherever they are…
If you’re running technical or scientific workloads on-prem, your HPC rig is probably your pride and joy. …
If we could take the Fugaku supercomputer out of the HPC market equation and while we were at it, pretend the pandemic never happened, the supercomputing market would be much easier to pin down. …
Almost three years ago, we wrote about Dell Technologies’ efforts to reassert itself into the HPC and supercomputing arena in a big way. …
Many of the technologists at AMD who are driving the Epyc CPU and Instinct GPU roadmaps as well as the $35 billion acquisition of FPGA maker Xilinx have long and deep experience in the high performance computing market that is characterized by the old school definition of simulation and modeling workloads running on federated or clustered systems. …
Over the next few years, we can expect to hear even more about large-scale computing sites bumping up against the memory wall, although not necessarily where they might expect. …
