Supercomputer Chip Startup Scores Funding, DARPA Contract
Back in March, we introduced a chip upstart taking aim at the efficiency of future exascale systems called Rex Computing. …

Although weather forecasts are nested into the fabric of our daily lives, it can be easy to forget that to arrive at accurate, long-term predictions takes massive amounts of computing power. …
There is little doubt that the worlds of large-scale data analytics and high performance computing share common features, but when it comes to meshing these two disparate technology (and to a large degree, cultural) divides, there are clear challenges. …
While supercomputing centers and hyperscalers would agree about many things when it comes to systems architecture and the need to use certain technologies to goose the performance and the scale of their applications, they often have a fundamental disagreement when it comes to networking. …
How different the datacenter would look if symmetric multiprocessing could somehow magically scale well beyond 32, 64, or 128 processors. …
As we described in some detail in a previous piece that outlined the impetus for China to step up development of its own supercomputer chips following the trade restrictions for Intel chips in large Chinese systems, China will continue to stick to the accelerated machine approach for the upgrade of its top-ranked Tianhe-2 system. …
When it comes to high performance computing, IBM is in a phase change that will take it several years to complete with its key OpenPower infrastructure partners, Nvidia and Mellanox Technologies. …
When the U.S. blocked exports of Intel chips for key Chinese supercomputers the expectation was that it would do little more than hasten the development of native architectures, effectively pushing up the timeline for Chinese chipmakers to find their own solutions to large-scale computing without Intel. …
SGI may be talking about its efforts to push into the enterprise space with special versions of its UltraViolet shared memory systems that are tuned up to run the SAP HANA in-memory database, but the supercomputer maker has not forgotten its core HPC customer base. …
Although there are many HPC startups that are focused on software, services, and consulting, to keep the list focused this year, we singled out a few key small companies that are taking their chances to bring new processors and server gear to the supercomputing table. …
