Luminaries Argue For The Interconnect We Could Have Already Had

February 16, 2023 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

Here is an old saw that we bring out of the toolbox every now and then, and we use it just enough so it has never really gotten rusty and it can cut through a lot of crap to make a point: The datacenter, and perhaps all clients, would have been better off if InfiniBand had just become the ubiquitous I/O switched fabric standard it was designed to be back in the late 1990s. …

Can Nvidia Be The Biggest Chip Maker In The Datacenter?

February 17, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

Next year, with the launch of the “Grace” Arm server processors, Nvidia will have all of the compute and networking bases it cares about in the datacenter covered, and it will be selling its technology at a rapid pace. …

InfiniBand Innovation Is About More Than Bandwidth And Latency

September 30, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

Sponsored Moving more bits across a copper wire or optical cable at a lower cost per bit shifted has been the dominant driver of datacenter networking since distributed systems were first developed more than three decades ago. …

JAMSTEC Goes Hybrid On Many Vectors With Earth Simulator 4 Supercomputer

September 27, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

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. …

A Third Dialect Of InfiniBand In The Works – Again

July 9, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

The InfiniBand interconnect emerged from the ashes of a fight about the future of server I/O at the end of the last millennium, and instead of becoming that generic I/O it became a low latency, high bandwidth interconnect used for high performance computing. …

The Eternal Battle Between InfiniBand And Ethernet In HPC

July 7, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

It is always good to have options when it comes to optimizing systems because not all software behaves the same way and not all institutions have the same budgets to try to run their simulations and models on HPC clusters. …

Taking A Superhybrid Approach To HPC/AI Convergence

February 26, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

AMD has been on such a run with its future server CPUs and server GPUs in the supercomputer market, taking down big deals for big machines coming later this year and out into 2023, that we might forget sometimes that there are many more deals to be done and that neither Intel nor Nvidia are inactive when it comes to trying to get their compute engines into upper echelon machines. …

Defying Supply Constraints, Nvidia Turns In Its Best Quarter Ever

November 19, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

To one way of thinking about it, this is the best of times among the worst of times for Nvidia. …

InfiniBand Is Still Setting The Network Pace For HPC And AI

November 17, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

If this is the middle of November, even during a global pandemic, this must be the SC20 supercomputing conference and there either must be a speed bump that is being previewed for the InfiniBand interconnect commonly used for HPC and AI or it is actually shipping in systems. …
