Barefoot Networks is on a mission, and it is a simple one: To give datacenter switches the same kind of openness and programmability that X86 servers have enjoyed for decades in the datacenter. …
OpenMP is probably the most popular tool in the world to parallelize applications running on processors, but ironically it is not a product, but rather a specification that those who make compilers and middleware use to implement their own ways of parallelizing code to run on multicore processors and now, GPU accelerators. …
OpenACC is one of the prongs in a multi-prong strategy to get people to port the parallel portions of HPC applications to accelerators. …
If you want to understand where we are going with computer architectures and the compilers that drive them, it is instructive to look at how compilers have made the leap from architecture to architecture starting six decades ago. …
On the hardware side, the next frontier for deep learning innovation will be in getting the performance, efficiency, and accuracy needed for inference at scale. …
A high-end supercomputer consumes nearly as much energy as a small city, which creates significant budgetary concerns for organizations that deploy and manage these systems. …
A working group formed on behalf of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP) in the U.S. …
Enterprises that want to leverage the huge amounts of data they are generating to gain useful insights and make faster and better business decisions are going to have to use machine learning at scale for modeling and training. …
As the rubber begins to meet the road for quantum computing, the conversation is shifting from one about the practicality of hardware to how future users will interface with quantum systems. …
When it comes to building extreme scale computing platforms, there are plenty of system design options but in supercomputing, the only practical choice for an OS is Linux. …
