IBM Uses Power10 CPU As An I/O Switch

July 26, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan 4

Back in early July, we covered the launch of IBM’s entry and midrange Power10 systems and mused about how Big Blue could use these systems to reinvigorate an HPC business rather than just satisfy the needs of the enterprise customers who run transaction processing systems and are looking to add AI inference to their applications through matrix math units on the Power10 chip. …

As CUDA Is To GPU, QODA is To Quantum Compute

July 13, 2022 Jeffrey Burt 0

In Nvidia’s decade and a half push to make GPU acceleration core to all kinds of high performance computing, a key component has been the CUDA parallel computing platform that made it easier for developers to create applications that can leverage graphics chips for general purpose processing. …

Can IBM Get Back Into HPC With Power10?

July 12, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan 4

The “Cirrus” Power10 processor from IBM, which we codenamed for Big Blue because it refused to do it publicly and because we understand the value of a synonym here at The Next Platform, shipped last September in the “Denali” Power E1080 big iron NUMA machine. …
