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. …

Maybe Nvidia Should Buy VMware Instead Of Intel

August 18, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

It is hard to imagine how anyone could run Nvidia better than it is being run right now. …

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. …

Microsoft Does The Math On Azure Datacenter Switch Failures

May 12, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 3

As supercomputer centers have long known and as hyperscalers and cloud builders eventually learned, the larger the cluster, the greater the chance that one of the many components in the system will fail at any particular time. …

One Way To Bring DPU Acceleration To Supercomputing

December 3, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

That is not a typo in the title. We did not mean to say GPU in title above, or even make a joke that in hybrid CPU_GPU systems, the CPU is more of a serial processing accelerator with a giant slow DDR4 cache for GPUs in hybrid supercomputers these days – therefore making the CPU a kind of accelerator for the GPU. …

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. …

FRR: The Most Popular Network Router You’ve Never Heard Of

October 26, 2020 Peter Lumbis 3

Everyone in the networking industry seems to fall into one of two camps: those that have used server-based routing software and those that have no idea such a thing exists. …
