The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) will be preparing to put nearly ten racks of Habana AI hardware on the floor, marking the first time we have seen the AI chip startup (acquired by Intel in 2019) in force at any major supercomputing site. …
In the early days of GPU-accelerated supercomputers, accelerators were installed with the mission of delivering ultra-high performance for a few select codes. …
Several years ago, the HPC systems designed for wide-ranging scientific computing were quite a bit different than those built for intense scalability and maximum peak performance. …
The San Diego Supercomputing Center is overdue for a new supercomputer and thanks to a $10 million grant from the National Science Foundation, next year it will finally get one. …
Hyperscale datacenters and supercomputing centers have some of the same limits when it comes to budgets, electricity consumption, cooling, and space, so it is not much of a surprise that HPC customers are taking a hard look at some of the custom server designs created for hyperscalers. …
