We like datacenter compute engines here at The Next Platform, but as the name implies, what we really like are platforms – how compute, storage, networking, and systems software are brought together to create a platform on which to build applications. …
With the reticle limit for chip manufacturing pretty much set in stone (pun intended) at 26 millimeters by 33 millimeters down to 2 nanometer transistor sizes with extreme ultraviolet lithography techniques and being cut in half to 26 millimeters by 16.5 millimeters for the High-NA extreme ultraviolet lithography needed to push below 2 nanometer transistor sizes, chiplets are inevitable and monolithic dies are absolutely going to become a thing of the past. …
Note: This story augments and corrects information that originally appeared in Half Eos’d: Even Nvidia Can’t Get Enough H100s For Its Supercomputers, which was published on February 15. …
For a lot of state universities in the United States, and their equivalent political organizations of regions or provinces in other nations across the globe, it is a lot easier to find extremely interested undergraduate and graduate students who want to contribute to the font of knowledge in high performance computing than it is to find the budget to build a top-notch supercomputer of reasonable scale. …
Note: There is a story called A Tale Of Two Nvidia Eos Supercomputers that augments and corrects information that originally appeared in this story as it was published on February 15. …
We don’t like a mystery and we particularly don’t like it when what is very likely the most powerful supercomputer in the world – at this time anyway – is veiled in secrecy. …
The big oil and gas companies of the world were among the earliest and most enthusiastic users of advanced machinery to do HPC simulation and modeling. …
The melding of low and high precision mathematics to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery has been a topic of discussion for some time now. …
Investment in supercomputing and related HPC technologies is not just a sign of how much we are willing to bet on the future with someone else’s money, but how much we believe in it ourselves, and more importantly, how much we believe in the core idea that we can predict and therefore shape the future of the world. …
The University of Stuttgart’s High Performance Computing Center (HLRS) in Germany has tapped Hewlett Packard Enterprise to build a pair of its next-generation supercomputers. …
