It has been two and a half decades since we have seen a rapidly expanding universe of a new kind of compute that rivals the current generative AI boom. …
By definition, a capability-class supercomputer means buying the best compute, storage, and networking available and getting high performance at just about any cost. …
Let’s just say it right here at the beginning. The first wave of attempts at creating Arm server chips –Calxeda, Applied Micro, AMD, Marvell, Nvidia, and Samsung, among others – was disappointing. …
After its acquisitions of ATI in 2006 and the maturation of its discrete GPUs with the Instinct line from the past few years and the acquisitions of Xilinx and Pensando here in 2022, AMD is not just a second source of X86 processors. …
In the next few months, Big Blue will launch its entry and midrange Power10 servers, and to be blunt, we are not sure what the HPC and AI angle is going to be for these systems. …
Within a year or so, with the launch of the “Grace” Arm server CPUs, it will not be heresy for anyone at Nvidia to believe, or to say out loud, that not every workload in the datacenter needs to have GPU acceleration. …
When the hyperscalers, the major datacenter compute engine suppliers, and the three remaining foundries with advanced node manufacturing capabilities launch a standard together on Day One, this is an unusual, significant, and pleasant surprise. …
AMD has finished its acquisition of Xilinx, which ended up costing close to $49 billion instead of the original $35 billion projected when the deal was announced in October 2020 thanks to the rise of AMD’s shares over the past year and a half. …
For more than a decade, the pace of the server market was set by the rollout of Intel’s Xeon processors each year. …
