The Future of Supercomputing is Happening Now…
Promo If you want to get the benefits of accelerated computing and high bandwidth memory as well as catching the rising wave of Arm-based compute, you don’t have to wait, you don’t have to buy CPU-GPU systems, and you don’t have to adopt a complex, hybrid programming model. …

How The FPGA Can Take On CPU And NPU Engines And Win
We made a joke – sort of – many years ago when we started this publication that the future compute engines would look more like a GPU card than they did a server as we knew it back then. …

Inside Look Inside Japan’s ABCI AI Supercomputer Upgrade
Japan is home to one of only a few designated AI supercomputers open to public and private research partnerships via its ABCI (AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure) system, which is set to reach nearly an exaflop of single-precision performance for ML workloads following a recent upgrade. …

The Eternal Battle Between InfiniBand And Ethernet In HPC
It is always good to have options when it comes to optimizing systems because not all software behaves the same way and not all institutions have the same budgets to try to run their simulations and models on HPC clusters. …

Waiting – Not Precisely Patiently – For Exascale
There was an outside chance that China might pull a surprise on the HPC community and launch the first true exascale system – meaning capable of more than 1 exaflops of peak theoretical 64-bit floating point performance if you want to be generous, and 1 exaflops sustained on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark if you don’t – but that didn’t happen. …

Exascale Machines Skew HPC Growth Projections
If we could take the Fugaku supercomputer out of the HPC market equation and while we were at it, pretend the pandemic never happened, the supercomputing market would be much easier to pin down. …

Arm Puts Some Muscle Into Future Neoverse Server CPU Designs
Arm is hosting its annual Tech Day shindig, virtually (again) thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, and is providing a lot more insight into the future Neoverse core and processor designs that will be adopted and modified by those who have a hankering to take on the hegemony of the X86 processor – which now includes pretty solid CPUs from Intel and AMD – in the datacenter and at the edge. …
