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. …
Ever since the “Aurora” vector processor designed by NEC was launched last year, we have been wondering if it might be used as a tool to accelerate workloads other than the traditional HPC simulation and modeling jobs that are based on crunching numbers in single and double precision floating point. …
In 2021, the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) is planning to deploy Aurora A21, a new Intel-Cray system, slated to be the first exascale supercomputer in the United States. …
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. …
The supercomputing business, the upper stratosphere of the much broader high performance computing segment of the IT industry, is without question one of the most exciting areas in data processing and visualization. …
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. …
There has been a lot of talk this week about what architectural direction Intel will be taking for its forthcoming exascale efforts. …
This morning a presentation filtered from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science showing the roadmap to exascale with a 2021 machine at Argonne National Lab. …
We are heading into International Supercomputing Conference week (ISC) and as such, there are several new items of interest from the HPC side of the house. …
The US Department of Energy fiscal year 2018 budget request is in. …
