When Globalfoundries decided to stop its development and rollout of both immersion lithography and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography at the 7 nanometer process node back in August, it looked as if IBM, second only to AMD as a server chip customer for its most advanced fab in Malta, New York, would be left in a lurch with its future Power processors. …
The husband and wife team of Abdurrahman and Tülay Ateşin are experimental scientists who unexpectedly became involved with supercomputers when they moved to Texas in 2013. …
For more than a decade, datacenter system administrators have been trying to figure out how to get their increasingly complex infrastructure under control and to manage them in a way that allows them to keep up with, adapt to, and scale with the rapid changes that are the new norm. …
Procter & Gamble, the massive multinational conglomerate and the world’s largest seller of consumer goods, has long been an advocate of computer modeling and simulation running atop HPC clusters. …
The BullSequana line of supercomputers from the Bull division of Atos offers some of the highest compute density available in the HPC realm. …
As we well know by now, workloads at supercomputing sites large and small are changing with the introduction of machine learning and more complex applications that require both large and small files. …
We have spent the past several years speculating about what the “Summit” supercomputer built by IBM, Nvidia, and Mellanox Technologies for the US Department of Energy and installed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory might be. …
HPC and the cloud have an uneasy, lukewarm relationship. Some corporations running HPC environments take the view that they have the infrastructure and software capabilities they need to run their own often massive workloads and taking on the networking costs, security concerns and management hassles of running applications and keep data in the cloud doesn’t make sense to them. …
It tends to get overlooked in favor of GPU acceleration but scaling deep learning on existing CPU-based HPC infrastructure is not just possible, but with the right level of optimization and fine-tuning, the performance and efficiency results can be comparable. …
Emerging technologies like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing can promise significant improvements in an array of industries, including the healthcare field. …
