Nvidia: There’s A New Kid In Datacenter Town
Unless you were born sometime during World War II, you have never seen anything like this before from a computing system manufacturer. …
Unless you were born sometime during World War II, you have never seen anything like this before from a computing system manufacturer. …
The question is no longer whether or not the “El Capitan” supercomputer that has been in the process of being installed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for the past week – with photographic evidence to prove it – will be the most powerful system in the world. …
It was absolutely inevitable that China would try to create its own GPU compute engines. …
There are a lot of things that compute engine makers have to do if they want to compete in the datacenter, but perhaps the most important thing is to be consistent. …
There are no greater bragging rights in supercomputing than those that come with top ten listing on the bi-annual list of the world’s most powerful systems – the Top500. …
Let’s just cut right to the chase scene. The latest Top500 ranking of supercomputers, announced today at the SC21 supercomputing conference being held in St Louis, needed the excitement of an actual 1 exaflops sustained performance machine running the High Performance Linpack benchmark at 64-bit precision. …
It is not news that China wants a rich, native, diverse semiconductor ecosystem to feed its largest consumers of compute. …
Machine learning inference models have been running on X86 server processors from the very beginning of the latest – and by far the most successful – AI revolution, and the techies that know both hardware and software down to the minutest detail at the hyperscalers, cloud builders, and semiconductor manufacturers have been able to tune the software, jack the hardware, and retune for more than a decade. …
We don’t use the first person a lot here at The Next Platform, but I am going to make an exception. …
A new CPU or GPU compute engine is always an exciting time for the datacenter because we get to see the results of years of work and clever thinking by hardware and software engineers who are trying to break through barriers with both their Dennard scaling and their Moore’s Law arms tied behind their backs. …
