Inside Six of the Newest Top 20 Supercomputers
The latest listing of the Top 500 rankings of the world’s most powerful supercomputers has just been released. …
Changing the Exascale Efficiency Narrative at Memory Start Point
With this summer’s announcement of China’s dramatic shattering of top supercomputing performance numbers using ten million relatively simple cores, there is a perceptible shift in how some are considering the future of the world’s fastest, largest systems. …
Supercomputing’s Scramble to Keep Thinking in Parallel
As supercomputing centers look to future exascale systems, among the other pressing concerns (power consumption in particular) is adopting the right programming approach to scale applications across millions of cores. …
Inside Japan’s Future Exascale ARM Supercomputer
The rumors that supercomputer maker Fujitsu would be dropping the Sparc architecture and moving to ARM cores for its next generation of supercomputers have been going around since last fall, and at the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany this week, officials at the server maker and RIKEN, the research and development arm of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) that currently houses the mighty K supercomputer, confirmed that this is indeed true. …
Measuring Top Supercomputer Performance in the Real World
When we cover the bi-annual listing of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, the metric at the heart of those results, the high performance Linpack benchmark, the gold standard for over two decades, is the basis. …
A Look Inside China’s Chart-Topping New Supercomputer
Much to the surprise of the supercomputing community, which is gathered in Germany for the International Supercomputing Conference this morning, news arrived that a new system has dramatically topped the Top 500 list of the world’s fastest and largest machines. …
Supercomputing Benchmarks Bending in New Directions
Whether it is IBM with the data-centric approach to next generation supercomputers or Intel with its scalable systems framework, there is little doubt that these and other major players in HPC are thinking differently about how to architect and benchmark systems in a way that balances floating point performance with the other equally important leg of the stool—data movement. …
Applied Micro Chases Xeons With X-Gene 3 And NUMA
If ARM processors are going to get traction in the datacenter, they will have to do so outside of the conservative glass houses of large enterprises. …
