A64FX Arm Chip Gets A Big Push From Cray
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. …

The processing world would be a whole lot less diverse and interesting if it were not for a healthy amount of nationalism. …
AMD has been on such a run with its future server CPUs and server GPUs in the supercomputer market, taking down big deals for big machines coming later this year and out into 2023, that we might forget sometimes that there are many more deals to be done and that neither Intel nor Nvidia are inactive when it comes to trying to get their compute engines into upper echelon machines. …
IT organizations are funny creatures, indeed. On the one paw, they are eternally optimistic about the prospects for new technologies, and on the other paw, they are extremely resistant to change because of the economic and technical risks that change requires. …
Our increasingly networked and compute-intensive lives are driving the server business, and despite the cornucopia of fear, uncertainty, and doubt that spans the globe, the appetite for compute as expressed in shiny racks of servers or metal pizza boxes or an occasional tower sitting in a closet or under a desk continues despite the kind of consumption we have not seen since the dot-com boom. …
For more than three decades, researchers have used a particular simulation method for molecular dynamics called Ab initio molecular dynamics, or AIMD, which has proven itself to be the method most accurate for analyzing how atoms and molecules move and interact over a fixed time period. …
There may not be a lot of new systems on the November 2020 edition of the Top500 rankings of supercomputers, but there has been a bunch of upgrades and system tunings of machines that have been recently added, expanding their performance, as well as a handful of new machines that are interesting in their own right. …
When you come to the crossroads and make a big decision about selling your soul to the devil to get what you want, it is supposed to be a dramatic event, the stuff that legends are made of. …
When Arm began its pursuit of the datacenter a decade ago, the idea behind offering a low-power architecture as an alternative to Intel and is Xeon product line made sense. …
