Driving HPC Performance Up Is Easier Than Keeping The Spending Constant

We are still mulling over all of the new HPC-AI supercomputer systems that were announced in recent months before and during the SC25 supercomputing conference in St Louis, particularly how the slew of new machines announced by the HPC national labs will be advancing not just the state of the art, but also pushing down the cost of the FP64 floating point operations that still drives a lot of HPC simulation and modeling work.

HPC Is Not Just Riding The Coattails Of AI

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 Brings Together Quantum And AI For HPC Centers

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.
