As many of you know from reading The Next Platform, we are firm believers that eventually we will get disaggregated and composable systems that drive up the sharing of hardware resource across many workloads and therefore drive down the cost of hardware to support workloads. …
The package is the most compact platform to do heterogenous integration for IP that can’t be naturally integrated in silicon but steady incremental improvements versus game-changing approaches are the only foreseeable path forward. …
The dividing lines between system buses, system intraconnects, and system interconnects are getting more blurry all the time. …
Even before it launched a $1.3 billion acquisition of Cray back in May, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has had exascale aspirations. …
Applications do not need to use all elements of a system all the time, and usually not all at the same time for that matter. …
While processors and now GPUs tend to get all of the glory when it comes to high performance computing, for the past three decades as distributed computing architectures became the norm in supercomputing, it has been the interconnects that made all the difference in how well – or poorly – these systems perform. …
For several years, work has been underway to develop a standard interconnect that can address the increasing speeds in servers driven by the growing use of such accelerators as GPUs and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the pressures put on memory by the massive amounts of data being generated and bottleneck between the CPUs and the memory. …
