After a long wait, now we know. All three of the initial exascale-class supercomputer systems being funded by the US Department of Energy through its CORAL-2 procurement are going to be built by Cray, with that venerable maker of supercomputers being the prime contractor on two of them. …
As the lead engineer on the Power10 processor, Bill Starke already knows what most of us have to guess about Big Blue’s next iteration in a processor family that has been in the enterprise market in one form or another for nearly three decades. …
The handwriting has been on the wall for some time now, but Intel has quietly dropped its 200 Gb/sec Omni-Path networking from its roadmaps and will be using other technology for interconnects going forward. …
While accelerators have been around for some time to boost the performance of simulation and modeling applications, accelerated computing didn’t gain traction for most people until the commercialization of the Tesla line of GPUs for general computing by Nvidia. …
One bit of news that almost got lost in the shuffle at the recent ISC 2019 conference was Intel’s announcement that it is bringing DAOS, the Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage platform, to supercomputing. …
At the ISC conference this week, HPC market analyst firm Hyperion Research offered its mid-year HPC market update, which recapped what happened in 2018 and provided some particularly interesting observations on the exascale space. …
The Barcelona Supercomputer Center will soon be the proud owners of the Europe’s first pre-exascale supercomputer. …
Creating the Tesla GPU compute platform has taken Nvidia the better part of a decade and a half, and it has culminated in a software stack comprised of various HPC and AI frameworks, the CUDA parallel programming environment, compilers from Nvidia’s PGI division and their OpenACC extensions as well as open source GCC compilers, and various other tools that together account for tens of millions of lines of code and tens of thousands of individual APIs. …
In one fell swoop, Intel has finally filled a giant hole in its switching product line by acquiring upstart Barefoot Networks, the creator of the P4 programming language for networking devices and the “Tofino” family of Ethernet switch ASICs that make use of it. …
