Genomics Marks The Next Sequence For FPGAs
There is a perfect storm developing that is set to whisk the once esoteric field programmable gate array (FPGA) processor ecosystem off the ground and into the stratosphere. …

Back in 2000, Ian Buck and a small computer graphics team at Stanford University were watching the steady evolution of computer graphics processors for gaming and thinking about how such devices could be extended to fit a wider class of applications. …
I recently attended a meeting of government and industry HPC leaders where one topic of much discussion was why so many universities have started “Data Science” programs but with the exception of a small number of universities, are not actively training students in HPC and parallel programming. …
Although traditional relational databases will not be disappearing anytime soon, for a growing set of data-intensive problems, graph-based approaches are still finding a fit, even well after the boom from web-scale workloads forced companies like Google, Facebook, and others that direction. …
Even though the buzz around neural networks, artificial intelligence, and machine learning has been relatively recent, as many know, there is nothing new about any of these methods. …
While much of the attention around the new crop of supercomputers tends to focus on the hardware story, which is difficult to downplay given the relatively high performance and densities expected as soon as early next year, the lesser told story (perhaps, in part because it is application specific) is perhaps far more important. …
The precise point of departure in the history of almost anything of significance – of a country, a company or a technology – is usually imperceptible. …
If one were to scroll through the list of startups under the wing of Battery Ventures to get a sense of where capital is being pushed, it wouldn’t take long to realize that of the over three hundred companies, almost all have hefty infrastructure requirements. …
Over the last few years, every major technology company has made a grand movement to embrace data in much the same way they did in the mid-2000s with cloud. …
Petar Radokjovic, who leads the memory systems division at the Barcelona Supercomputer Center, described his desk, messy with the latest research on next-generation memory systems for high performance computing, and says that for a time, the sight of them was enough to give him an ulcer. …
