With this summer’s announcement of China’s dramatic shattering of top supercomputing performance numbers using ten million relatively simple cores, there is a perceptible shift in how some are considering the future of the world’s fastest, largest systems. …
Just because Intel doesn’t make a lot of noise about a product does not mean that it is not important for the company. …
Some technology trends get their start among enterprises, some from hyperscalers or HPC organizations. …
Would you rather have tens of thousands of customers who collectively spend a lot of money but their spending rises and falls with the gross domestic product, or a couple of dozen customers who spend almost as much on your product but who do so with massive checks that are not always predictable? …
In the first part of this series on the proposed Cache Coherence Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) standard, we talked about the issues of cache coherence and the need to share memory across various kinds of compute elements in a system. …
With the increasing adoption of scale-out architectures and cloud computing, high performance interconnect (HPI) technologies have become a more critical part of IT systems. …
The past decade or so has seen some really phenomenal capacity growth and similarly remarkable software technology in support of distributed-memory systems. …
With the general availability of the “Knights Landing” Xeon Phi many core processors from Intel last month, some of the largest supercomputing labs on the planet are getting their first taste of what the future style of high performance computing could look like for the rest of us. …
Close to a year ago when more information was becoming available about the Knights Landing processor, Intel released projections for its relative performance against two-socket Haswell machines. …
