The first exaflops-capable supercomputers are just around the corner and to celebrate this milestone-to-be and talk about its ramifications, the US Department of Energy hosted a national “Exascale Day” discussion. …
The widening performance disparity between compute and I/O is not likely to get any better in the fast-approaching exascale era. …
Throughout the many different types of system architecture in the past six decades, one thing has always remained true: Hardware always gets ahead of software, and rather than be too annoyed about it, there is another thing that is also true. …
The competition for the compute engines in hybrid HPC and AI supercomputer systems is heating up, and it is beginning to look a bit like back to the future with Cray on the rise and AMD also revitalized. …
We have spent the past several years speculating about what the “Summit” supercomputer built by IBM, Nvidia, and Mellanox Technologies for the US Department of Energy and installed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory might be. …
OpenACC is one of the prongs in a multi-prong strategy to get people to port the parallel portions of HPC applications to accelerators. …
The irony, of course, is that there is never a summit when it comes to supercomputing. …
The future “Summit” pre-exascale supercomputer that is being built out in late 2017 and early 2018 for the US Department of Energy for its Oak Ridge National Laboratory looks like a giant cluster of systems that might be used for training neural networks. …
