Dreaming Of 100 Exaflops In 2030
The supercomputing industry is as insatiable as it is dreamy. We have not even reached our ambitions of hitting the exascale level of performance in a single system by the end of this decade, and we are stretching our vision out to the far future and wondering how the capacity of our largest machines will scale by many orders of magnitude more. …

Knights Landing Proves Solid Ground for Intel’s Stake in Deep Learning
Intel has finally opened the first public discussions of its investment in the future of machine learning and deep learning and while some might argue it is a bit late in the game with its rivals dominating the training market for such workloads, the company had to wait for the official rollout of Knights Landing and extensions to the scalable system framework to make it official—and meaty enough to capture real share from the few players doing deep learning at scale. …

More than Moore: IEEE Set to Standardize on Uncertainty
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. …
