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. …
Over the last couple of years, we have been watching how burst buffers might be deployed at some of the world’s largest supercomputer sites. …
The ubiquity of the Xeon server has been a boon for datacenters and makers of IT products alike, creating an ever more powerful on which to build compute, storage, and now networking or a mix of the three all in the same box. …
The first big supercomputing deal of the new year has been unveiled. …
Software wants to be free, or more precisely, the organizations that deploy software for specific functions in their platform stack want to be able to do so on the systems that they choose rather than the ones that a vendor that is fond of its hardware margins chooses. …
By definition, the national HPC labs are on the very bleeding edge of supercomputing technology, which is necessary given the scope and scale of the problems they are trying to solve through simulation and analysis and enabled by the largesse of their budgets. …
Every year people ask me what I think the biggest news story is at the annual Supercomputing Conference (SC). …
Object storage is not a new technology, but it is something that many enterprises are just starting to adopt as they follow the hyperscalers and HPC centers away from the overhead and scalability limits of traditional storage and its file systems. …
Hyperscalers like Apple and Facebook helped flash vendors like Fusion-io, now part of SanDisk, get off the ground in such a big way that they could then attack the broader enterprise market. …
