With machine learning taking off among hyperscalers and others who have massive amounts of data to chew on to better serve their customers and traditional simulation and modeling applications scaling better across multiple GPUs, all server makers are in an arm’s race to see how many GPUs they can cram into their servers to make bigger chunks of compute available to applications. …
The IT industry spends a lot of time obsessing about Moore’s Law and whether it is alive well or heading for the old folks home. …
There is an old adage that the best way to predict the future is to create it. …
The workhorse of the datacenter, the Xeon E5 processor, is getting a bit stronger today and will be able to pull slightly heavier workloads through the datacenter with the launch of the “Broadwell” Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors. …
While GPUs are commonly used to accelerate massively parallel compute jobs that are behind simulations, media rendering, or machine learning algorithms, the next wave of growth could come from databases, thereby upsetting the balance of power in get another part of the datacenter infrastructure. …
There is no question that Docker is emerging as the dominant container format and runtime for the encapsulation of the modern microservices way of creating and deploying software, and that container podding systems like Google’s Kubernetes or Docker’s Swarm are useful for managing a container collective that expresses an application. …
Convergence is a recurring theme in all kinds of layers of the datacenter these days. …
There is never enough bandwidth in a datacenter that is the size of a football field and that is expected to work more or less like a single computer. …
