The interesting thing about the June 2023 rankings of the world’s most powerful supercomputers is not how it really has not changed all that much in the past six months, or that the June list is coming out in May. …
At the moment, the most powerful Arm processor on the planet is the 48-core A64FX processor from Fujitsu, which was created as the heavily vectored compute engine for the “Fugaku” supercomputer at RIKEN Lab in Japan. …
It was only a matter of time, perhaps, but the skyrocketing costs of designing chips is colliding with the ever-increasing need for performance, price/performance, and performance per watt. …
Updated: There is some chatter – some might call it well-informed speculation – going on out there on the Intertubes that Japanese system maker NEC is shutting down its “Aurora” Vector Engine vector processor business. …
When it comes to chips, there is a big difference between a kicker and a fork. …
You know that climate change is a problem when a supercomputer to do short-term prediction of the formation of linear rainbands and the torrential downpours that they cause is 3.4X as powerful as the machines that do the day-to-day weather forecasting in a country. …
It’s rare in supercomputing to discover a paper that’s both insightful and amusing, but a distributed team led by Dr. …
The HPC industry, after years of discussions and anticipation and some relatively minor delays, is now fully in the era of exascale computing, with the United States earlier this year standing up Frontier, its first such supercomputer, and plans for two more next year. …
Predicting the future is hard, even with supercomputers. And maybe specifically when you are talking about predicting the future of supercomputers. …
