Compute is by far still the largest part of the hardware budget at most IT organizations, and even with the advance of technology, which allows more compute, memory, storage, and I/O to be crammed into a server node, we still seem to always want more. …
When considering system and software needs at massive scale, one application area that tends to shed light on what lies ahead is weather prediction and modeling. …
Computing for neuroscience, which has aided in our understanding of the structure and function of the brain, has been around for decades already. …
Having access to fairly reliable 10-day forecasts is a luxury, but it comes with high computational costs for centers in the business of providing predictability. …
Training a machine learning algorithm to accurately solve complex problems requires large amounts of data. …
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 strong interest in deep learning neural networks lies in the ability of neural networks to solve complex pattern recognition tasks – sometimes better than humans. …
Although the future of exascale computing might be garnering the most deadlines in high performance computing, one of the most important stories unfolding in the supercomputing space, at least from a system design angle, is the merging of compute and data-intensive machines. …
Several decades ago, Gordon Moore made it far simpler to create technology roadmaps along the lines of processor capabilities, but as his namesake law begins to slow on the rails, the IEEE is stepping in to create a new, albeit more diverse roadmap for future systems. …
