Natural language processing has been an easy fit for these relatively early days of artificial intelligence. …
If you are an HPC center in Europe, and particularly one that is funded by public funds, you are thinking about Arm-based CPUs in your supercomputers. …
In Nvidia’s decade and a half push to make GPU acceleration core to all kinds of high performance computing, a key component has been the CUDA parallel computing platform that made it easier for developers to create applications that can leverage graphics chips for general purpose processing. …
In March, Nvidia introduced its GH100, the first GPU based on the new “Hopper” architecture, which is aimed at both HPC and AI workloads, and importantly for the latter, supports an eight-bit FP8 floating point processing format. …
Exascale supercomputing is just as important to Europe as it is to the United States and China, but each of these geopolitical regions on Earth has its own way of developing architectures, funding their development and production, and figuring out where the best HPC centers are to host such machines to maximize their effectiveness. …
There is no denying that GPUs have incredible potential to accelerate workloads of all kinds, but developing applications that can scale across two, four, or even more GPUs continues to be a prohibitively expensive proposition. …
There are many interpretations of the word venado, which means deer or stag in Spanish, and this week it gets another one: A supercomputer based on future Nvidia CPU and GPU compute engines, and quite possibly if Los Alamos National Laboratory can convince Hewlett Packard Enterprise to support InfiniBand interconnects in its capability class “Shasta” Cray EX machines, Nvidia’s interconnect as well. …
Once Dell spun out VMware on Wall Street, it was only a matter of time before someone would put together enough money to acquire it. …
Something that we have been waiting for a decade and a half to see has just happened: The datacenter is now the biggest business at Nvidia. …
