A major part of China’s several initiatives to build an exascale-class supercomputers has been the country’s determination to rely mostly on homegrown technologies – from processors and accelerators to interconnects and software – rather than turn to vendors outside of its borders, particularly those from the United States. …
If it’s the SC18 supercomputing conference, then there must be lists. …
Oracle was famously behind the cloud computing curve, with co-founder and then-CEO Larry Ellison several years ago dismissing it as little more than an empty tag that was more on par with fashion trends than anything serious in the tech world. …
More than five years ago, Nvidia, driven by its co-founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, turned its considerable focus to developing technologies for the revitalized and burgeoning artificial intelligence space. …
These are challenging times for Intel. Long – and still – the dominant chip maker in the datacenter with its battle-tested Xeon processors, the company is now seeing challenges everywhere. …
The Ohio Supercomputer Center’s mission to supply supercomputing capabilities to educational institutions and companies throughout the state is about to get a significant boost in the form of a powerful and highly-efficient cluster based on Dell EMC servers and leveraging liquid-cooling technology from CoolIT. …
The data-heavy medical field has long been seen as fertile ground for artificial intelligence (AI), where machine learning and deep learning techniques could crunch through mountains of data to drive everything from research to personalized medicine. …
Enterprises are looking at a future of multiple clouds and hybrid clouds where they can run not only their new cloud-native applications but also migrate many of their legacy workloads and take advantage of cost savings and the agility that comes with cloud computing. …
The growth of a new technology as it enters the industry can tend to take on a certain pattern. …
The revelations by Google’s Project Zero team earlier this year of the Spectre and Meltdown speculative execution vulnerabilities in most of processors that have powered servers and PCs for the past couple of decades shook the industry as Intel and other chip makers scrambled to mitigate the risk of the threats in the short term and then implement plans to incorporate the mitigation techniques into future versions of the silicon. …
