The race toward exascale supercomputing gets a lot of attention, as it should. …
Moore’s Law may be slowing down performance increases in compute capacity, but InfiniBand networking did not get the memo. …
In many ways, enterprises and hyperscalers have it easy. Very quickly in the wake of its announcement more than two decades ago, the Java programming language, a kind of virtualized C++, became the de facto standard for coding enterprise applications that run the business. …
It is week one of the new Dell Technologies, the conglomerate glued together with $60 billion from the remaining parts of the old Dell it has not sold off to raise cash to buy storage giant EMC and therefore server virtualization juggernaut VMware, which is owned mostly by EMC but remains a public company in the wake of the deal. …
The supercomputing industry is as insatiable as it is dreamy. We have not even reached our ambitions of hitting the exascale level of performance in a single system by the end of this decade, and we are stretching our vision out to the far future and wondering how the capacity of our largest machines will scale by many orders of magnitude more. …
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. …
We don’t have a Moore’s Law problem so much as we have a materials science or alchemy problem. …
Nvidia wants for its latest “Pascal” GP100 generation of GPUs to be broadly adopted in the market, not just used in capability-class supercomputers that push the limits of performance for traditional HPC workloads as well as for emerging machine learning systems. …
The powerful Cori supercomputer, now being readied for deployment at NERSC (The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center), has been named in honor of Gerty Cori. …
