The Engine Of HPC And Machine Learning

February 28, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan Comments Off on The Engine Of HPC And Machine Learning

There is no question right now that if you have a big computing job in either high performance computing – the colloquial name for traditional massively parallel simulation and modeling applications – or in machine learning – the set of statistical analysis routines with feedback loops that can do identification and transformation tasks that used to be solely the realm of humans – then an Nvidia GPU accelerator is the engine of choice to run that work at the best efficiency. …

HPE Brings More HPC To The DoD

February 21, 2018 Jeffrey Burt Comments Off on HPE Brings More HPC To The DoD

Much of the focus of the recent high-profile budget battle in Washington – and for that matter, many of the financial debates over the past few decades – has been around how much money should go to the military and how much to domestic programs like Social Security and Medicare. …

Gen-Z Interconnect Ready To Restore Compute Memory Balance

February 15, 2018 Jeffrey Burt Comments Off on Gen-Z Interconnect Ready To Restore Compute Memory Balance

For several years, work has been underway to develop a standard interconnect that can address the increasing speeds in servers driven by the growing use of such accelerators as GPUs and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the pressures put on memory by the massive amounts of data being generated and bottleneck between the CPUs and the memory. …
