Aurora Rising: A Massive Machine For HPC And AI
As long as great science gets done on the final incarnation of the “Aurora” supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory, based on Intel’s CPUs and GPUs but not on its now defunct Omni-Path interconnect, people will eventually forget all of – well, most of – the grief that it took to get the massive machine to market. …

How AI Is Going To Change Supercomputer Rankings Even More
The interesting thing about the June 2023 rankings of the world’s most powerful supercomputers is not how it really has not changed all that much in the past six months, or that the June list is coming out in May. …

The Skills Gap For Fortran Looms Large In HPC
Back in the dawn of time, which is four decades ago in computer science and which was before technical computing went mainstream with the advent of Unix workstations and their beefy server cousins, the computer science students we knew at college had taught themselves BASIC on either TRS-80s or Commodore VICs and they went to college to learn something useful like COBOL and maybe got a smattering of C and Pascal, or occasionally even RPG, for variety. …

Berkeley Lab Opens Bidding For Future NERSC-10 Exascale System
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, one of the key facilities of the US Department of Energy that drives supercomputing innovation and that spends big bucks so at least a few vendors will design and build them, has opened up the bidding on its future NERSC-10 exascale-class supercomputer. …
