When it comes to novel computing architectures, whether in quantum, deep learning, or neuromorphic, it can be tricky to get a handle on how incremental improvements in processor counts translate to real world improvements since these bumps in element counts often don’t have perfect parallels to CPUs or even GPUs. …
People in the modern era sometimes forget that networking predates the rise of Cisco Systems and the commercialization of the Internet. …
For those who have followed the evolution of supercomputing over the years, the Earth Simulator series of systems has represented the state of the art in workload-oriented design. …
On today’s program we landed a couple of unplanned themes; namely silicon photonics and its role in both quantum and AI architectures. …
The GPU has become a standard platform for accelerating high performance computing workloads, at least for those that have had their code tweaked to support acceleration at all. …
After a decade of vendor consolidation that saw some of the world’s biggest IT firms acquire first-class HPC providers such as SGI, Cray, and Sun Microsystems, as well as smaller players like Penguin Computing, WhamCloud, Appro, and Isilon, it is natural to wonder who is next. …
Not so long ago, there was a question whether exascale supercomputers would be built from a very large number of thin nodes containing only modest amounts of parallelism or a smaller number of fat nodes powered by specialized accelerators and powerful manycore processors. …
AMD has picked up yet another big supercomputer win with the selection of its second-generation Epyc processors, aka Rome, as the compute engine for the ARCHER2 system to be installed at the University of Edinburgh next year. …
There are two trends converging in AI inference and so far, only a small number of companies are enmeshed. …
