The Year Ahead In Datacenter Compute
For more than a decade, the pace of the server market was set by the rollout of Intel’s Xeon processors each year. …

The modern GPU compute engine is a microcosm of the high performance computing datacenter at large. …
Supercomputers are expensive, and getting increasingly so. Even if they are delivering impressive performance gains over the past decade, modern HPC workloads require an incredible amount of performance, and this is particularly true of any workload that is going to blend together traditional HPC simulation and modeling with some sort of machine learning training and inference. …
All of the great technologists live in the future. They bring it back to us with the help of countless engineers who derive the specifications from their vision and make ideas into reality and, ultimately, into money to repeat the process again. …
In a decade and a half, Nvidia has come a long way from its early days as a provider of graphics chips for personal computers and other consumer devices. …
If you want to know how and why AMD motors have been chosen for so many of the pre-exascale and exascale HPC and AI systems, despite the dominance of Intel in CPUs and the dominance of Nvidia in GPUs, you need look no further for an answer than the new “Aldebaran” Instinct MI200 GPU accelerator from AMD and its Infinity Fabric 3.0 coherent interconnect that is being also added to selected Epyc CPUs. …
Here is a moment that Lisa Su, the chief executive officer who has lead the team that brought AMD back into the datacenter with the vigor the market needs, has been waiting six years for. …
If you don’t measure something, you can’t manage it. And if you don’t set ambitious goals, then you can’t attain them. …
Sponsored When it comes to compute engines and network interconnects for supercomputers, there are lots of different choices available, but ultimately the nature of the applications — and how they evolve over time — will drive the technology choices that organizations make. …
While we are big fans of laissez faire capitalism like that of the United States and sometimes Europe — right up to the point where monopolies naturally form and therefore competition essentially stops, and thus monopolists need to be regulated in some fashion to promote the common good as well as their own profits — we also see the benefits that accrue from a command economy like that which China has built over the past four decades. …
