Graphcore IPU Put Through the Supercomputing Paces

January 20, 2021 Nicole Hemsoth 0

With performance comparable to the Nvidia V100 GPU, a common accelerator in HPC but better energy consumption numbers and memory bandwidth potential, Graphcore can turn heads in supercomputing.

Who Shoulders the Supercomputing Resiliency Burden?

January 11, 2021 Nicole Hemsoth 0

While the related topics of fault tolerance and resiliency do not garner the same attention as performance and efficiency, being able to recover from and work around failures, especially as applications take over ever-large and increasingly heterogenous machines, is more important than ever. …

Taking The Pulse Of The Core HPC Market

December 10, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

Since a big chunk of the IBM HPC team moved over to Lenovo as part of the System x division being acquired by Lenovo back in late 2014, which coincided when we started The Next Platform, we have made a habit of talking to Scott Tease, executive director of high performance computing at Lenovo, to take the pulse of the volume segment of the HPC space. …

HPC Does A Cannonball Into HPE’s GreenLake

December 10, 2020 Jeffrey Burt 1

Peter Ungaro, senior vice president and general manager of HPC and mission critical solutions at Hewlett Packard Enterprise and longtime CEO of supercomputer Cray before HPE bought the company for $1.3 billion in 2019, spoke with The Next Platform earlier this year about the dawning exascale era the world is about to step into. …

One Way To Bring DPU Acceleration To Supercomputing

December 3, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

That is not a typo in the title. We did not mean to say GPU in title above, or even make a joke that in hybrid CPU_GPU systems, the CPU is more of a serial processing accelerator with a giant slow DDR4 cache for GPUs in hybrid supercomputers these days – therefore making the CPU a kind of accelerator for the GPU. …

The Redemption Of AMD In HPC

November 30, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

Many of the technologists at AMD who are driving the Epyc CPU and Instinct GPU roadmaps as well as the $35 billion acquisition of FPGA maker Xilinx have long and deep experience in the high performance computing market that is characterized by the old school definition of simulation and modeling workloads running on federated or clustered systems. …

Injecting Machine Learning And Bayesian Optimization Into HPC

November 30, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 3

No matter what kind of traditional HPC simulation and modeling system you have, no matter what kind of fancy new machine learning AI system you have, IBM has an appliance that it wants to sell you to help make these systems work better – and work better together if you are mixing HPC and AI. …

“Wombat” Puts Arm’s SVE Instruction Set to the Test

November 18, 2020 Nicole Hemsoth 0

We’ve been closely following momentum with Fujitsu’s Arm-based A64FX processor, from its inception to its placement inside the world’s most powerful supercomputer. …

Exploiting the “Legacy Tax” Loophole for HPC Storage

November 18, 2020 Nicole Hemsoth 0

Over the next few years, we can expect to hear even more about large-scale computing sites bumping up against the memory wall, although not necessarily where they might expect. …

The Only Way To Predict The HPC Future Is To Live It

November 18, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

It is just plain weird to be attending an SC20 supercomputing conference virtually and to not be going to the IDC – now Hyperion Research – morning breakfast speed forecast just a little bit hungover. …
