Nvidia wants for its latest “Pascal” GP100 generation of GPUs to be broadly adopted in the market, not just used in capability-class supercomputers that push the limits of performance for traditional HPC workloads as well as for emerging machine learning systems. …
With the International Supercomputing 2016 conference fast approaching, the HPC community is champing at the bit to share insights on the latest technologies and techniques to make simulation and modeling applications scale further and run faster. …
At the dawn of the cloud computing revolution, the winners were determined in their ability to rule with an “iron” fist (the hardware) but over the next ten years, we will see that having an iron-fist basis for rule is far easier than ruling with nuanced, multi-layered intelligence–and it takes a special kind of leader to do that. …
This being leap year day, storage juggernaut EMC is having fun with puns about quantum leaps and frogs as it launches its much-anticipated DSSD all-flash arrays aimed at extreme I/O performance. …
There is a gentle touch of hypocrisy about the supercomputing world. …
One of the ultimate legacy high performance computing applications, Lattice QCD (quantum chromodynamics) has been adapted to run efficiently on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. …
When Hewlett-Packard launched its moonshot effort to create a new computing architecture centered on non-volatile memory last year, called The Machine, many people jumped to a number of wrong conclusions. …
There are almost too many ways to skin the storage cat in the enterprise datacenter these days. …
Media companies and supercomputing centers have similar compute, storage, and bandwidth issues, but their workloads and users vary enough that they require different kinds of systems. …
