For those who read here often, there are clear signs that the FPGA is set to become a compelling acceleration story over the next few years. …
The Open Compute Project started by Facebook nearly five years ago is in many respects a tier one server maker a tier one server maker that just so happens to have multiple manufacturers etching motherboards and bending metal instead of one. …
The voracious appetite for compute and storage capacity among hyperscalers and cloud builders once again drove the server market to new heights as 2015 came to a close, and unless some wobbling from Hewlett Packard Enteprise and Cisco Systems is a leading indicator of a slowdown – and we do not think it is – then this year will probably also be a record setter. …
Back in the early 1990s, the common view was that there was little money to be made in the business of open source. …
For decades, HPC centers were on the bleeding edge of any technology, but enterprises comprised most of the sales volume and so there was a bifurcation of those technologies. …
HPC centers like to boast about the details of their supercomputing systems because they are political machines as much as they are tools for running simulations. …
The convergence of servers and networks forced the hand of networking giant Cisco Systems back in the late 2000s, compelling it to create the Unified Computing System blade servers and their integrated networking and launch them nearly seven years ago now, upsetting the balance of power in the datacenter. …
As the shift in high performance computing has taken an efficient data-intensive supercomputing turn in recent years, fundamental rethinks in architecture are coming to the fore. …
It is like the world is turned on its head.
What is the last place on earth where a massive number of disk drives will be unplugged? …
