The race is on to carve a path to efficient extreme-scale machines in the next five years but existing processing approaches fall far short of the efficiency and performance targets required. …
Every successive processor generation presents its own challenges to all chip makers, and the ramp of 14 nanometer processes that will be used in the future “Skylake” Xeon processors, due in the second half of this year, cut into the operating profits of its Data Center Group in the final quarter of 2016. …
With the current data science boom, many companies and organizations are stepping outside of their traditional business models to scope work that applies rigorous quantitative methodology and machine learning – areas of analysis previously in the realm of HPC organizations. …
Over the last couple of years, we have focused extensively on the hardware required for training deep neural networks and other machine learning algorithms. …
High performance computing is a hot field, and not just in the sense that it gets a lot of attention. …
It is the first month of a new year, and this is the time that IBM traditionally does reorganizations of its business lines and plays musical chairs with its executives to reconfigure itself for the coming year. …
At the end of 2016, Amazon Web Services announced it would be making high-end Xilinx FPGAs available via a cloud delivery model, beginning first in a developer preview mode before branching with higher-level tools to help potential new users onboard and experiment with FPGA acceleration as the year rolls on. …
The HPC industry has been waiting a long time for the ARM ecosystem to mature enough to yield real-world clusters, with hundreds or thousands of nodes and running a full software stack, as a credible alternative to clusters based on X86 processors. …
It takes an incredible amount of resilience for any company to make it decades, much less more than a century, in any industry. …
