It has been a long time since the Japan Meteorological Agency has deployed the kind of supercomputing oomph for weather forecasting that the island nation would seem to need to improve its forecasts. …
When it comes to supercomputing, more is almost always better. More data and more compute – and more bandwidth to link the two – almost always result in a better set of models, whether they are descriptive or predictive. …
Just this time last year, the projection was that by 2020, ARM processors would be chewing on twenty percent of HPC workloads. …
Over the course of the last five years, GPU computing has featured prominently in supercomputing as an accelerator on some of the world’s fastest machines. …
Weather modeling and forecasting centers are among some of the top users of supercomputing systems and are at the top of the list when it comes to areas that could benefit from exascale-class compute power. …
When considering system and software needs at massive scale, one application area that tends to shed light on what lies ahead is weather prediction and modeling. …
Having access to fairly reliable 10-day forecasts is a luxury, but it comes with high computational costs for centers in the business of providing predictability. …
If there has been a time when the IT industry was not being roiled by multiple transitions, we can’t remember it. …
Not every organization that relies on supercomputers can replace a whole machine in one fell swoop. …
