Arm And Japan Get Their Day In The HPC Sun
There is a constant push and pull between budget and architecture in supercomputing, and the passing of time has not made anyone’s arms tired as yet on both sides of the bargaining table. …
There is a constant push and pull between budget and architecture in supercomputing, and the passing of time has not made anyone’s arms tired as yet on both sides of the bargaining table. …
If you want to rank in the world of supercomputing – as national and state governments as well as academic and research institutions most certainly do to prove their worth for research and development – then you need to have at least a petaflops ante now to play the game. …
As part of France’s national strategy to advance to the forefront of artificial intelligent research in Europe, the government will install a 14 petaflops supercomputer for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). …
The twice-annual ranking of distributed computing systems based on the Linpack parallel Fortran benchmark, a widely used and sometimes maligned test, is as much a history lesson as it is an expectation always looking forward, with anticipation, to the next performance milestones in high performance computing. …
Compute drives supercomputing, and networking is the chassis and storage just comes along for the ride. …
If you really want to know what is going on in the HPC market, you have to be careful about using the Top 500 rankings of “supercomputers” as a yardstick. …
The shenanigans with the Top 500 rankings of the world’s most powerful supercomputers continues, but there are a bunch of real supercomputers that were added to the list for the June 2018 rankings, and we are thankful, as always, to gain the insight we can glean from the Top 500 on these new machines that are clearly used for HPC workloads. …
Supercomputers keep getting faster, but they keep getting more expensive. This is a problem, and it is one that is going to eventually affect every kind of computer until we get a new technology that is not based on CMOS chips. …
The supercomputing business, the upper stratosphere of the much broader high performance computing segment of the IT industry, is without question one of the most exciting areas in data processing and visualization. …
Sales of HPC systems were a lot brisker in 2015 than anticipated, and according to the latest prognostications from the market researchers at IDC presented from the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt, Germany this week, growth in the HPC sector will continue to outpace that of the overall IT market for many years to come. …
