Czech Republic Sticks With NEC Vector Engines For Weather Modeling

February 12, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan Comments Off

There are two different Auroras right now in supercomputing. There is the shape-shifting, legendary, and maybe even mythical “Aurora” and now “Aurora A21” exascale supercomputer that was being built by Intel with “Knights” many core processors and now, if Intel can get them out the door, with a combination of “Sapphire Rapids” Xeon SP processors and “Ponte Vecchio” X^e GPU accelerators, for Argonne National Laboratory. …

US Air Force Spends $100 Million To Accelerate Data Warehouses

February 4, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 4

We talk about big money being spent on GPU-accelerated HPC and AI systems all the time here at The Next Platform, and we have been clear that we think another area where such acceleration will take off is with databases and related analytics, and particularly with data warehouses that have trillions of rows of data. …
