Aurora Rising: A Massive Machine For HPC And AI
As long as great science gets done on the final incarnation of the “Aurora” supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory, based on Intel’s CPUs and GPUs but not on its now defunct Omni-Path interconnect, people will eventually forget all of – well, most of – the grief that it took to get the massive machine to market. …

Aurora In A Socket: What Intel’s “Falcon Shores” XPU Might Do
We are still chewing through some of the announcements that came out of Intel Investor Day and the ISSCC 2022 chip conference, and one of the things we want to circle back on is the “Falcon Shores” hybrid CPU-GPU that Intel is working on for future servers. …

Intel Aims For Zettaflops By 2027, Pushes Aurora Above 2 Exaflops
Just because Intel is no longer interested in being a prime contractor on the largest supercomputing deals in the United States and Europe — China and Japan are drawing their own roadmaps and building their own architectures — does not mean that Intel does not have aspirations in HPC and AI supercomputing. …

First Look At Oak Ridge’s “Frontier” Exascaler, Contrasted To Argonne’s “Aurora”
The fiscal year of the federal government in the United States ends on September 30, and whether we all knew it or not, the US Department of Energy had a revised goal of beginning the deployment of at least one exascale-class supercomputing system before fiscal 2021 ended and fiscal 2022 began on October 1. …

Intel To Take On OpenPower For Exascale Dominance With Aurora
As expected, Intel will be the prime contractor for the first exascale supercomputer in the United States, which Argonne National Laboratory expects to be operational and capable of sustained exaflops performance by the end of 2021. …

Argonne Hints at Future Architecture of Aurora Exascale System
There are two supercomputers named “Aurora” that are affiliated with Argonne National Laboratory – the one that was supposed to be built this year and the one that for a short time last year was known as “A21,” that will be built in 2021, and that will be the first exascale system built in the United States. …

A Deep Dive Into NEC’s Aurora Vector Engine
We caught wind of the “Aurora” Vector Engine vector processor and the “Tsubasa” system from NEC that makes use of it ahead of the SC17 supercomputer conference, and revealed everything we could find out about the system and speculated a bit about how the underlying processor in the absence of real data. …
