Hyperion Research has declared 2019 as the year that high performance computing in the cloud hit a “tipping point.” Cloud spending for HPC work is projected to jump from just under $2.5 billion in 2018 to approximately $4 billion by the end of 2019. …
When originally conceived, Japan’s Post-K supercomputer was supposed to be the country’s first exascale system. …
Not so long ago, there was a question whether exascale supercomputers would be built from a very large number of thin nodes containing only modest amounts of parallelism or a smaller number of fat nodes powered by specialized accelerators and powerful manycore processors. …
There are just two Arm-powered supercomputers on the latest TOP500 rankings: the “Astra” system at Sandia National Laboratories and Fujitsu’s new A64FX prototype. …
The confluence of big data, AI, and edge computing is reshaping the contours of high performance computing. …
At our HPC Day event ahead of the SC19 conference, supercomputing expert and Linpack creator Jack Dongarra talked about his new HPL-AI benchmark. …
The first crop of exascale supercomputers in the United States will be powered by some of the most computationally dense hardware ever assembled. …
When it comes to energy-efficient supercomputing, sometimes less is more. That was illustrated this week by Fujitsu with its A64FX prototype, which captured the top spot on the Green500 list. …
