As SC19 begins in Denver there has been a new release of the Top500 list which has seen China improve the total number of systems featured on the list while the US holds the top spot for the total performance of systems in the Top500
The exascale era is firmly in the sights of Cray and Fujitsu following an agreement to use Arm processors in a new line of supercomputers
In January 2020 the American Diabetes Association released a new set of clinical standards that, for the first time, included the use of an FDA-approved autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) platform for detecting diabetic retinopathy in people with diabetes.
At the end of February physIQ and the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs published data from a clinical trial demonstrating the use of physIQ’s machine-learning algorithm to predict when an individual patient with previously diagnosed heart failure will likely require a readmission to hospital.
Cloud research tools provide a platform for new avenues of scientific research by providing fast access to bare-metal resources.
New processors and GPU technology continue to demand more power than the previous generations, combining this with increasingly dense architectures requires cooling solutions such as liquid or immersion cooling.
