Why Did China Keep Its Exascale Supercomputers Quiet?
There are no greater bragging rights in supercomputing than those that come with top ten listing on the bi-annual list of the world’s most powerful systems – the Top500. …

Just because Intel is no longer interested in being a prime contractor on the largest supercomputing deals in the United States and Europe — China and Japan are drawing their own roadmaps and building their own architectures — does not mean that Intel does not have aspirations in HPC and AI supercomputing. …
As we head toward the annual Supercomputing Conference season we wanted to take a moment for a level-set on exascale. …
Exascale systems are expensive but for labs retrofitting existing facilities for novel cooling, the compute, storage, network, and software are only the beginning of high costs. …
We took a look recently at the compute engines at the heart of the future – and as yet unnanmed – Sunway exascale system that will be installed at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, China. …
There are a lot of new technologies that are available now or are going to be available shortly that have the potential to radically change the compute, memory, and storage hierarchies in systems. …
It must have been something in the cosmic ether.
Apopros of nothing except the need to fill a blank page with something interesting back when we were analyzing IBM’s second quarter financials and considering the options that Big Blue has with the “Cirrus” Power10 systems it will be launching about a year from now, we did a thought experiment about what it would mean if IBM started to believe in big iron machines again. …
One thing is certain: The explosion of data creation in our society will continue as far as pundits and anyone else can forecast. …
The European Commission has anted up €3.9 million to create a set of tools and runtime frameworks that will be used to support the exascale supercomputers to be deployed across the continent in the coming decade. …
