Drawing the lines where the server ends and the network begins is getting more and more difficult. …
As we have heard time and again, one of the greatest challenges for future exascale class computing—the one that falls right under power consumption–is how codes are ever going to evolve to take advantage of that much compute. …
Tis the season for massive supercomputer deals in the oil and gas segment. …
For the past two decades, Intel has taken on the processor makers for servers and storage in the datacenter and vanquished all but a few suppliers of alternative architectures from the glass house. …
As we touched on last week, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are not a silver bullet that will rip through the enterprise datacenter world anytime soon. …
Elon Musk is shaking up both the car and space industries with his respective Tesla and SpaceX companies, and the irony is that while the former is totally upending the combustion engine for land transportation with zippy and stylish electric cars, the latter company has to not only embrace but to create new combustion technologies to get a manned mission to Mars as Musk not only dreams of doing, but is making happen. …
Intel’s forthcoming “Knights Landing” Xeon Phi processor is certainly an impressive beast, as The Next Platform revealed earlier this week. …
Those in the high performance computing world have been hearing about the applicability of burst buffers for some time now, but most talk about them is centered on their role in future pre-exascale systems at large HPC centers and national labs. …
For some companies and research centers, managing access to massive pools of stored data across different systems has been a persistent challenge, especially with variations in file systems. …
