Nvidia may have cornered the market for the compute engines and networks that link them to train GenAI models, and the company has a very large share of the platforms that do inference, too. …
The cluster architectures for AI training and inference are driving unprecedented growth in the datacenter infrastructure spending, but they are also having a reflective and beneficial impact on HPC architectures thanks to the relative ease with which one can get funding for AI initiatives and the need to upgrade existing HPC systems to do traditional simulation and modeling. …
Nvidia has spent much of the year launching new products and partnerships that aim to ensure it keeps its place atop the wild west that is still the AI market while establishing its place in the emerging quantum computing space, where co-founder and chief executive officer Jensen Huang sees Nvidia being a key infrastructure provider and accelerator. …
The HPC centers of the world like fast networks and compute, but they are also always working under budget constraints unlike their AI peers out there in the enterprise, where money seems to be unlimited to what sometimes looks like an irrationally exuberant extent. …
Speeds and feeds are great, but hardware is only as useful as the software that can harness it, and, for AMD, that’s the ROCm software stack. …
Intel was the first of the major CPU makers to add HBM stacked DRAM memory to a CPU package, with the “Sapphire Rapids” Max Series Xeon SP processors. …
As far as we have been concerned since founding The Next Platform literally a decade ago this week, AI training and inference in the datacenter are a kind of HPC. …
Welcome to the second part in our series of chats with J Metz, chair of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium. …
The concrete has been poured and the first containers that will house the exascale-class “Jupiter” system at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany are being lifted into place for the modular datacenter that will be the home of the massive machine. …
All of the weather and climate simulation centers on Earth are trying to figure out how to use a mixture of traditional HPC simulation and modeling with various kinds of AI prediction to create forecasts for both near-term weather and long-term climate that have higher fidelity and go out further into the future. …
