Robert Roe reports from the SC17 conference keynote, detailing progress on the Square kilometre Array project
Every year since 2012, experts and leaders from all over the world converge in February to New Zealand for three full days of the most thought-provoking sessions in the latest high-technology evolution and its applications.
The fiftieth TOP500 list of the fastest supercomputers in the world – released this week ahead of the SC17 conference taking place in Denver, Colorado – shows a slump in the number of systems from the US as it has reached its lowest level since the list’s inception 25 years ago
Adrian Giordani explores the methods used to accurately measure the performance of supercomputers
Bright Computing, a global leader in cluster and cloud infrastructure automation software, is proud to announce that the University of North Texas (UNT) has integrated Bright Cluster Manager into its HPC environment for research support.
Cavium, a provider of semiconductor for enterprise, data centre, wired and wireless networking and the University of Michigan have announced a new partnership that aims to position U-M as a leader in data-intensive scientific research by creating a powerful Big Data computing cluster using dual socket servers powered by Cavium’s ThunderX ARMv8-A workload optimised processors
Green Revolution Cooling (GRC) has announced the latest installation of its liquid immersion computing system at John Paul Catholic University (JPCU) in San Diego, California
Spectra Logic has announced the launch of its fourth LTO tape technology pre-purchase programme that provides its customers with access to LTO-7 drives and media for use until LTO-8 technology becomes available
Altair has announced that it has entered into a multi-year original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement with HPE
HPC and Big Data returns to showcase the latest advances in the pioneering technologies and practices which are revolutionising computational research across the public and private sector.
As not only the HPC industry but the larger computing ecosystem tries to overcome the slowdown and eventual end of transistor scaling described by Moore’s Law, scientists and researchers are implementing programmes that will define the technologies and new materials needed to supplement, or repla
Architectural specialisation is one option to continue to improve performance beyond the limits imposed by the slow down in Moore’s Law.
As the complexity of both HPC hardware and the challenges that scientists are trying to solve using HPC systems increases, ensuring a system is utilised efficiently is necessary to deliver a computing service with value for money and a high research output.
With data rates increasing and more complex challenges arising in life sciences, Panasas’ Jim Donovan and Dale Brantly discuss the benefits of using HPC for these workloads
