Managing an aging nuclear weapons stockpile requires a tremendous – and ever-increasing – amount of supercomputing performance, and the HPC system business the world over is focused on this as much as trying to crack the most difficult scientific, medical, and engineering problems. …
Whenever one company buys another, every product line, every research project, and every employee is ultimately in play. …
It may have taken the better part of a decade, but the Itanium platform has yielded the kinds of profits that Hewlett Packard Enterprise long sought and rarely attained. …
Per aspera, ad astra, an old Latin adage that means “through striving, to the stars,” is the root of the name for a hybrid HPC and AI supercomputer that the Grand Équipment National de Calcul Intensif (GENCI), working in conjunction with the Centre Informatique National de l’Enseignement Supérieur (CINES), one of three national HPC centers in France, will be building next year to bring a factor of 20X more compute power to bear on scientific applications. …
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. …
When it comes to data-intensive supercomputing, few centers have the challenges Pawsey Supercomputing Centre faces. …
Success in any endeavor is not just about having the right idea, but having that idea at the right time and then executing well against that plan. …
When you come to the crossroads and make a big decision about selling your soul to the devil to get what you want, it is supposed to be a dramatic event, the stuff that legends are made of. …
System architects that live in the Seattle area who don’t want to uproot their lives and move to California or Texas or New York or maybe possibly Illinois or Oregon or even overseas to Japan or China have a fairly small number of job opportunities. …
As the steward of the nuclear weapon arsenal for the United States government, it is probably not an overstatement to say that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, one of the main supercomputer and scientific research facilities operated by the Department of Energy, is keenly interested in bang for the buck. …
