In the second installment of our two-part report on the Student Cluster Competition (SCC), we trace the history of the top three teams at the recent ISC High Performance conference (ISC18) and look at the factors that drove their success.
At the Hot Chips conference this week, IBM outlined its plans to develop a new open standard memory interface that would be able to talk to different types of memory devices besides just DDR.
At the Hot Chips conference this week, Intel provided a few more details on Cascade Lake, the upcoming Xeon Scalable Processor that is scheduled to start shipping before the end of the year.
Fujitsu has announced the specifications for A64FX, an Arm CPU that will power Japans first exascale supercomputer. The system, known as Post-K, is scheduled to begin operation in 2021.
Episode 236: Addison Snell and Michael Feldman analyze new system announcements spanning the globe.
Last month, a team of researcher from University of Michigan and Zhejiang University announced that they have figured out a way to execute HPC-style matrix-vector operations on a memristor-based computer.
Every contest has winners and losers. If you have spent much time following student cluster competitions at HPC conferences, you may wonder, as I have, why some win time and again, while others have a difficult time placing.You may also wonder why some never make it on the field.
Episode 235: Addison Snell and Michael Feldman analyze Intel's latest chip announcements and its likely roadmap over the next few years.
In a bid to reinvent computer graphics and visualization, NVIDIA has developed a new architecture that merges AI, ray tracing, rasterization, and computation.The new architecture, known as Turing, was unveiled this week by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in his keynote address at SIGGRAPH 2018.
The DOEs National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is getting ready to deploy Eagle, an HPE SGI 8600 cluster that will deliver a peak performance of eight petaflops.
