Yesterday with the announcement of the forthcoming El Capitan supercomputer, which is set to be more powerful than the top 200 supercomputers combined, we got to thinking about a critical issue that is far less attention-capturing than big performance numbers. …
As the hyperscalers and cloud builders go, so goes the enterprise. …
At this point in the history of information technology, there is no way to introduce a new processor that does not appeal to the hyperscalers and cloud builders. …
At The Next FPGA Platform event in January there were several conversations about what roles reconfigurable hardware will play in the future of deep learning. …
Whatever is going on with its competitive positioning against revitalized X86 server chip rival AMD, Intel clearly felt that it could not wait for the launch of its 14 nanometer “Cooper Lake” and 10 nanometer “Ice Lake” Xeon SP processors to address it. …
At The Next FPGA Platform event in San Jose, California on January 22, Jose Alvarez, Intel PSG CTO, Jose Alvarez outlined the three levels of heterogeneous integration. …
With the ramping of volumes, the maturing of the manufacturing process, and the widening number of use cases in the field, there is always an opportunity for the lineup of every type and generation of compute engine to get some tweaks here and there. …
It is not difficult to oversimplify, even with something as complex and diverse as quantum computing, but these systems go far beyond mere qubits in deep freeze. …
It is not inconceivable, but probably also not very likely, that the datacenter business at GPU juggernaut Nvidia could at some point in the next one, two, or three years equal that of the core and foundational gaming sector. …
No platform can be everything to everybody. And while there are plenty of organizations that operate at scale who create their own platforms, often using best of breed components, there are some that – perhaps because of the experience of constantly cobbling together systems into platforms – just do not want to do the experimenting and testing and weaving. …
