You know that climate change is a problem when a supercomputer to do short-term prediction of the formation of linear rainbands and the torrential downpours that they cause is 3.4X as powerful as the machines that do the day-to-day weather forecasting in a country. …
A decade ago, waferscale architectures were dismissed as impractical. Five years ago, they were touted as a fringe possibility for AI/ML. …
Sponsored Post: In case you missed the big news earlier this month, Intel introduced its 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (formerly codenamed Sapphire Rapids) to a huge industry fanfare – groundbreaking datacenter silicon which promises to push the boundaries of performance for high performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI) and networking workloads. …
Sponsored Post: CPU speed matters a lot to certain types of process-intensive applications like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), so anything that helps to boost the raw power of the servers which inhabit modern datacenters will provide a welcome performance boost. …
If a few cores are good, then a lot of cores ought to be better. …
It’s rare in supercomputing to discover a paper that’s both insightful and amusing, but a distributed team led by Dr. …
Sponsored Feature: In an ideal world, if you knew exactly and precisely what application you are going to run, then co-designing a custom application and its processor would be a fairly simple matter and price/performance and performance per watt would always be as perfect as it could be. …
The HPC industry, after years of discussions and anticipation and some relatively minor delays, is now fully in the era of exascale computing, with the United States earlier this year standing up Frontier, its first such supercomputer, and plans for two more next year. …
The need for high-powered computing isn’t going away. Enterprises trying to corral the massive amounts of data they’re generating and adopting emerging technologies like machine learning are demanding the sort of HPC capabilities that not too long ago were reserved for research and educational institutions. …
It’s fall, so that means it is the annual Super Computing conference that has been held in the United States by the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society since 1989. …
