Scientists have unlocked many atomic secrets through physics research that studies particle interactions such as quarks, gluons, protons, and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom. …
What is the hardest job at Intel, excepting whoever is in charge of the development of chip etching processes and the foundries that implement it? …
Since 1965, the computer industry has relied on Moore’s Law to accelerate innovation, pushing more transistors into integrated circuits to improve computation performance. …
Not so long ago, there was a question whether exascale supercomputers would be built from a very large number of thin nodes containing only modest amounts of parallelism or a smaller number of fat nodes powered by specialized accelerators and powerful manycore processors. …
The handwriting has been on the wall for some time now, but Intel has quietly dropped its 200 Gb/sec Omni-Path networking from its roadmaps and will be using other technology for interconnects going forward. …
Three months ago, The Next Platform promised a three part conversation about practical computational balance with the final part focusing on software. …
When it comes to machine learning training, people tend to focus on the compute. …
The race toward exascale supercomputing gets a lot of attention, as it should. …
In many ways, enterprises and hyperscalers have it easy. Very quickly in the wake of its announcement more than two decades ago, the Java programming language, a kind of virtualized C++, became the de facto standard for coding enterprise applications that run the business. …
Weather modeling and forecasting centers are among some of the top users of supercomputing systems and are at the top of the list when it comes to areas that could benefit from exascale-class compute power. …
