While the world continues to fixate on AI, there are still plenty of high performance computing workloads that need doing and a speedup to any one part can have a big impact, whether it be computational fluid dynamics, material analysis, or something else. …
The newest of the exascale-class supercomputer to be profiled in the Top500 rankings in the June list is the long-awaited “Jupiter” system at Forschungszentrum Jülich facility in Germany. …
The International Super Computing 2025 conference is going on this week in Hamburg, Germany and is celebrating its 40th anniversary. …
It is a tumultuous time for any agency in the US government or any company or organization that depends on the US government for a sizable portion of its funding or revenue. …
The HPC centers of the world like fast networks and compute, but they are also always working under budget constraints unlike their AI peers out there in the enterprise, where money seems to be unlimited to what sometimes looks like an irrationally exuberant extent. …
If you want a CPU that has the floating point performance of a GPU, all you have to do is wait six or so years and the CPU roadmaps can catch up. …
PARTNER CONTENT: As the technology industry continues its shift towards AI dominance, an important schism is opening up that threatens to impact scientific progress, along with important humanitarian endeavors such as disaster response. …
The University of Stuttgart’s High Performance Computing Center (HLRS) in Germany tapped Hewlett Packard Enterprise back in December 2023 to build a prototype hybrid CPU-GPU supercomputer nicknamed “Hunter” to pave the way towards an exascale-class machine it is budgeting to have installed in 2027 called “Herder.” …
For years, scientists in the field of molecular dynamics have been squeezed in their research. …
The expansion of the computing capacity in Europe for both traditional HPC simulation as well as AI training and modeling continues apace, with the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum lab in Germany announcing late last week (when we took a day of holiday) that it would be shelling out €250 million – about $262.7 million at current exchange rates – to build a hybrid CPU-GPU cluster based on Nvidia compute engines to tackle both kinds of high performance computing. …
