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. …
Wall Street might have unreasonable expectations about how OEMs and ODMs can profit from the GenAI boom through selling GPU laden systems. …
UPDATED: Nvidia is a member of the Ultra Ethernet Consortium.
The jury is still out on a lot of things about this exploding AI market and the re-convergence that it will have with traditional HPC systems for running simulations and models. …
The difference between “high performance computing” in the general way that many thousands of organizations run traditional simulation and modeling applications and the kind of exascale computing that is only now becoming a little more commonplace is like the difference between a single, two door coupe that goes 65 miles per hour (most of the time) and a fleet of bullet trains that can each hold over 1,300 people and move at more than 300 miles per hour, connecting a country or a continent. …
