The more things change, the more they stay the same.
While exascale supercomputers mark a next step in performance capability, at the broader architectural level, the innovations that go into such machines will be the result of incremental improvements to the same components that have existed on HPC systems for several years. …
IPOs and major investments in storage startups are one thing, but when it comes to a safe tech company investment, all bets are still on tape. …
Burst buffers are growing up—and growing out of the traditional realm of large-scale supercomputers, where they were devised primarily to solve the problems of failure at scale. …
It is not always easy, but several companies dedicated to the supercomputing market have managed to retune their wares to fit more mainstream market niches. …
The latest listing of the Top 500 rankings of the world’s most powerful supercomputers has just been released. …
Burst buffer technology is closely associated with HPC applications and supercomputer sites as a means of ensuring that persistent storage, typically a parallel file system, does not become a bottleneck to overall performance, specifically where checkpoints and restarts are concerned. …
Some technology trends get their start among enterprises, some from hyperscalers or HPC organizations. …
Over the last year, we have focused on the role burst buffer technology might play in bolstering the I/O capabilities on some of the world’s largest machines and have focused on use cases ranging from the initial target to more application-centric goals. …
