One reason we’re watching Lawrence Livermore National Lab closely is because they are at the forefront when it comes to blending emerging HPC, deep learning, and edge technologies for applications that are representative of what’s next. …
Supercomputers are designed for a number of big jobs that can only be done by massively powerful machinery, and one of those jobs has been the modeling of chemical compounds and biological systems, often in concert to model diseases and to help find cures for them. …
The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is the U.S. Office of Science’s purpose-built high performance network user facility, operating as the “circulatory system” that connects every Department of Energy lab and its user facilities and experiment sites. …
It is no surprise that the key criteria that organizations look for when shopping for high performance computing storage is performance. …
When Hewlett Packard Enterprise finally closed on its $1.3 billion acquisition of supercomputer maker Cray in September, it was just over a month after the US Department of Energy announced Cray had completed a sweep in the country’s initial push into the exascale computing era. …
Normally, supercomputers installed at academic and national laboratories get configured once, acquired as quickly as possible before the money runs out, installed and tested, qualified for use, and put to work for a four or five or possibly longer tour of duty. …
In the early days of GPU-accelerated supercomputers, accelerators were installed with the mission of delivering ultra-high performance for a few select codes. …
A collaboration of researchers from the University of California Davis, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, and Intel are working together on the DisCo project to extract insight from complex unlabeled data. …
Several years ago, the HPC systems designed for wide-ranging scientific computing were quite a bit different than those built for intense scalability and maximum peak performance. …
The U.S. Department of Energy is backing a sweeping software to bring wind turbine and wind farm modeling into the exascale era with the open source “ExaWind” modeling and simulation environment. …
