GPU Computing Still Nascent On Public Clouds
The public cloud is precisely as conservative and innovative as the enterprise customers that make use of it. …

If you think that Hewlett-Packard is disappointed about the delays in getting the memristor to market, so is a tenacious inventor who has been working at the confluence of electronics and machine learning. …
When one thinks about the largest supercomputing sites on the planet and the approach to examining future technologies for next-generation systems, it might seem logical to guess they are at the bleeding edge of exploring entirely new, under-the-radar architectures and approaches that could spike the curve of Moore’s Law. …
Just as the fervor died down around the massive deals for forthcoming pre-exascale supercomputers in the United States following the CORAL procurements (most recently, with the announcement of Aurora—the only one of three such HPC deals that is not betting the future on IBM OpenPower systems) the supercomputing spark was stoked again, this time, from across the pond. …
Now that the on-again, off-again deal between Intel, the world’s largest maker of processors, and Altera, one of the dominant makers of field programmable gate arrays, is going to happen for the tidy sum of $16.7 billion in cash, Intel is poised to usher in a new era of computing while at the same time countering the many competitive threats it has in the datacenter. …
For some users in high performance computing and a growing range of deep learning and data-intensive application segments, the shift toward mixed (heterogeneous) architectures is becoming more common. …
The arrival of augmented reality for the masses is imminent with Google Glass and other competing devices, but in many respects, the makers of these have put the proverbial cart before the horse. …
When it comes to chip companies that have claimed a stake in the future of high performance computing, there used to be more competition. …
