As the shift in high performance computing has taken an efficient data-intensive supercomputing turn in recent years, fundamental rethinks in architecture are coming to the fore. …
One of the first Knights Landing, Omni-Path supercomputers will be hitting the floor in Colorado in the coming months, and while one of the lead decision-makers for the system says they are expecting to see it in May (well ahead of when Knights Landing and Omni-Path were expected to appear, even for early ship programs), that buffer time provides a chance to make the necessary tweaks and optimizations to ensure that a scientific computing software stack is primed and ready for the changes Omni-Path in particular will bring about. …
There is but a small cadre of scalable parallel file systems and while the list might be small, weighing the relative benefits of each option against the available resources can be a challenge, as Sven Breuner and his HPC admin colleagues at the Fraunhofer Institute realized in 2004. …
Intel has been pursuing a long-term, multi-faceted set of investments to create the processors and technologies needed to build CPU-based supercomputers that can deliver exascale levels of performance in a cost and energy efficient fashion. …
Shopping for high performance computing machinery can be a sobering experience. …
