IT shops are notorious when it comes to avoiding risk, and this is something that we should be grateful for because it increases the odds that this increasingly compute-dependent world keeps working. …
Advances in visualization are essential for managing—and maximizing value from—the rising flood of data, the growing sophistication of simulation codes, the convergence of machine learning (ML) and simulation workloads, and the development of extreme-scale computers. …
It is hard to say for sure, but a very substantial part of the hard work in buying supercomputers and creating simulations and models that tell us about the real world around us gets done in thousands of academic research institutions worldwide. …
By definition, HPC is always at the cutting edge of computing, driving innovations in processor, system, and software design that eventually find their way into more mainstream computing systems. …
Historically and traditionally, academic supercomputing centers have been very open about the architecture and setup of their HPC systems, and it makes sense if you think about it. …
By its very nature, HPC isn’t exactly cheap to do. Even moderate sized systems ring in at many hundreds of thousands of dollars. …
Nvidia got a little taste of hardware, and the company’s top brass have decided that they like having a lot of iron in their financial diet. …
Any new and powerful technology always cuts both ways.
The rapid rise of the machine learning flavor of artificial intelligence is due to the fact that, unlike prior approaches, it actually works and therefore can be embraced by a wide swath of businesses, research and educational institutions, and technology companies. …
It is safe to say that companies that have traditionally built server, storage, and switch hardware have had a tough time finding their place in a world that is increasingly allergic to appliances and wants everything to come as software that customers have more control over. …
