One of the ultimate legacy high performance computing applications, Lattice QCD (quantum chromodynamics) has been adapted to run efficiently on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. …
When Hewlett-Packard launched its moonshot effort to create a new computing architecture centered on non-volatile memory last year, called The Machine, many people jumped to a number of wrong conclusions. …
When it comes to high performance computing, IBM is in a phase change that will take it several years to complete with its key OpenPower infrastructure partners, Nvidia and Mellanox Technologies. …
There are almost too many ways to skin the storage cat in the enterprise datacenter these days. …
When one thinks about the largest supercomputing sites on the planet and the approach to examining future technologies for next-generation systems, it might seem logical to guess they are at the bleeding edge of exploring entirely new, under-the-radar architectures and approaches that could spike the curve of Moore’s Law. …
CERN is set to go dark for a brief period in the 2018 timeframe to allow for a new sweep of technology upgrades, including the build-out of new datacenters, some of which might leverage non-standard architectures, including ARM processors. …
Media companies and supercomputing centers have similar compute, storage, and bandwidth issues, but their workloads and users vary enough that they require different kinds of systems. …
