Berkeley Lab First In Line for Cray “Shasta” Supercomputers
For the past five years, supercomputer maker Cray has been diligently at work not only creating a new system architecture that allows for a mix of different interconnects and compute for its future “Shasta” systems, but has also brought long-time Cray chief technology officer, Steve Scott, back into the company after two stints spent at Nvidia and Google to create a new interconnect, called “Slingshot,” that is the beating heart of the Shasta system and that signals a return of the Cray that we know and love. …

Where The FPGA Hits The Server Road For Inference Acceleration
There are an increasing number of ways to do machine learning inference in the datacenter, but one of the increasingly popular means of running inference workloads is the combination of traditional CPUs acting as a host for FPGAs that run the bulk of the inferring. …

Getting HPC Simulations to Speak Deep Learning
We have written much over the last few years about the convergence of deep learning and traditional supercomputing but as the two grow together, it is clear that the tools for one area don’t always mesh well with those of the other. …
