Moore’s Law might be slowing down CPU compute capacity increases in recent years, but the innovation has been coming at a steady drumbeat for the interconnects used inside servers and between nodes in distributed computing systems. …
Hybrid cloud is gaining traction as organizations seek to realize the flexibility and scale of a joint public and on-premises model of IT provisioning while also changing the way their compute and storage infrastructure is funded, transferring costs from a capital expense (capex) to an operating expense (opex). …
Back in 2016, we wrote a column about the rise of data-centric computing. …
Most people in the IT community tend to their fields, making their living in their patches, but there are some who change the landscape, and still fewer who do it again and again. …
Say what you will about the ruthless dominance of hyperscale companies, but they are managing to propel information technology at a rate, and in ways, that the enterprise and high performance computing markets can only dream of. …
Living in the future, as we do now, you no longer have to expend huge amounts of capital to build a petaflops-scale supercomputer. …
Perhaps the biggest task that processor and system designers have to wrestle with these days is how to keep heavily cored and massively threaded processors fed with data. …
While there are plenty of distributed applications that are going to chew through the hundreds of gigabits per second of bandwidth per port that modern Ethernet or InfiniBand ASICs deliver inside of switches, there are still others that might benefit from having a more streamlined stack that is also more malleable and composable. …
Big Blue has become a big believer in using differential signaling to attach everything – and we mean everything – to the processor. …
