Future Systems: Can Exascale Revive AMD?
We spend a lot of time in the upper stratospheres of computing among the hyperscale and HPC crowds here at The Next Platform, and the consistent theme across these two similar but often very different customers bases is that we need a new system architecture that provides better performance at a lower cost and in a lower thermal envelope and an expanded memory hierarchy that can help with those goals. …

HPC Scales Out of Balance With CPU-Heavy Thinking
Evaluating the true performance of HPC systems has never been quite as simple as tracking incremental improvements across processor generations, but is increasingly focused on how these tweaks affect the entire stack–and whether such gains are even useful from a memory or I/O perspective. …
