We spend a lot of time contemplating what technologies will be deployed at the heart of servers, storage, and networks and thereby form the foundation of the next successive generations of platforms in the datacenter for running applications old and new. …
Breaking into the switch market is not an easy task, whether you are talking about providing whole switches or just the chips that drive them. …
High performance computing in its various guises is not just determined by the kind and amount of computing that is made available at scale to applications. …
When it comes to low-latency interconnects for high performance computing, InfiniBand immediately springs to mind. …
Choosing the right interconnect for high-performance compute and storage platforms is critical for achieving the highest possible system performance and overall return on investment. …
Computing historians may look back on 2016 as the Year of Silicon Photonics. …
Processing for server compute has gotten more general purpose for the past two decades and is seeing resurgence in built-for-purpose chips. …
Just like every kind of compute job cannot be handled by a single type of microprocessor, the diversity of networking tasks in the datacenters of the world require a variety of different switch and router ASICs to best manage those tasks. …
It is hard to tell which part of the HPC market is more competitive: compute, networking, or storage. …
Moore’s Law may be slowing down performance increases in compute capacity, but InfiniBand networking did not get the memo. …
