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. …
Argonne National Laboratory has become a must-watch lab for those following the convergence of supercomputing and AI/ML. …
It is a relatively quiet International Supercomputing conference on the hardware front, with no new processors or switch ASICs being announced from the usual suspects. …
AI/ML, more sophisticated analytics, and larger-scale HPC problems all bode well for the on-prem storage market in high performance computing (HPC) and are an even bigger boon for cloud storage vendors. …
There was an outside chance that China might pull a surprise on the HPC community and launch the first true exascale system – meaning capable of more than 1 exaflops of peak theoretical 64-bit floating point performance if you want to be generous, and 1 exaflops sustained on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark if you don’t – but that didn’t happen. …
If we could take the Fugaku supercomputer out of the HPC market equation and while we were at it, pretend the pandemic never happened, the supercomputing market would be much easier to pin down. …
Almost three years ago, we wrote about Dell Technologies’ efforts to reassert itself into the HPC and supercomputing arena in a big way. …
Sponsored By its very nature, high performance computing is an expensive proposition compared to other kinds of computing. …
Lenovo became a powerhouse in the HPC and supercomputer spaces back in 2014, when it bought IBM’s System x server division for $2.1 billion in a deal that also saw it license storage and system management software from Big Blue. …
