Many have waited years to hear someone like Prahlad Venkatapuram, Senior Director of Engineering at Meta, say what came out this week at the RISC-V Summit:
“We’ve identified that RISC-V is the way to go for us moving forward for all the products we have in the roadmap. …
SPONSORED FEATURE: The face of modern networking is changing dramatically in parallel with the exponential increase in the volume of data traffic over the last several years. …
The ProLiant server business is down in the dumps, and the storage business is in a slump. …
Since the advent of distributed computing, there has been a tension between the tight coherency of memory and its compute within a node – the base level of a unit of compute – and the looser coherency over the network across those nodes. …
For more than a year, we have been expecting for Amazon Web Services to launch its Graviton4 processor for its homegrown servers at this year’s re:Invent, and lo and behold, chief executive officer Adam Selipsky rolled out the fourth generation in the Graviton CPU lineup – and the fifth iteration including last year’s overclocked Graviton3E processor aimed at HPC workloads – during his thrombosis-inducing keynote at the conference. …
After many years of rumors, Microsoft has finally confirmed that it is following rivals Amazon Web Services and Google into the design of custom processors and accelerators for their clouds. …
For very sound technical and economic reasons, processors of all kinds have been overprovisioned on compute and underprovisioned on memory bandwidth – and sometimes memory capacity depending on the device and depending on the workload – for decades. …
There are two ways that CPU makers can deliver more bang for the buck, and those running distributed computing workloads can go either way – or somewhere in between – as they build out their server clusters. …
There is wracking up the money, and racking up the servers – and Supermicro, which is sometimes an OEM and sometimes an ODM as well as a motherboard and component supplier to those who want to be either, is doing both here at the beginning of its fiscal 2024 year. …
SPONSORED FEATURE: A convergence of cutting-edge technology, generative AI and advanced server infrastructure has unleashed a wave of innovation in the realm of cyber security. …
