Supercomputers are designed for a number of big jobs that can only be done by massively powerful machinery, and one of those jobs has been the modeling of chemical compounds and biological systems, often in concert to model diseases and to help find cures for them. …
When originally conceived, Japan’s Post-K supercomputer was supposed to be the country’s first exascale system. …
When it comes to energy-efficient supercomputing, sometimes less is more. That was illustrated this week by Fujitsu with its A64FX prototype, which captured the top spot on the Green500 list. …
The processing world would be a whole lot less diverse and interesting if it were not for a healthy amount of nationalism. …
This story has been updated with new information since it originally ran. …
A shared appetite for high performance computing hardware and frameworks is pushing both supercomputing and deep learning into the same territory. …
The supercomputing industry is accustomed to 1,000X performance strides, and that is because people like to think in big round numbers and bold concepts. …
The rumors that supercomputer maker Fujitsu would be dropping the Sparc architecture and moving to ARM cores for its next generation of supercomputers have been going around since last fall, and at the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany this week, officials at the server maker and RIKEN, the research and development arm of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) that currently houses the mighty K supercomputer, confirmed that this is indeed true. …
