The computing giant Microsoft has announced the acquisition of Cycle Computing to strengthen the company’s HPC and big data cloud infrastructure
Attend this event for a full update on how natural language processing (NLP), multilingual artificial intelligence (AI) and speech interaction technologies will impact your organisation in the years to come. LTI17 focuses on some of the hottest technologies and applications in the pipeline, resulting especially from the AI revitalisation of machine learning: neural machine translation, automated document search/analysis/generation, semantic insights from user-generated content, technology-assisted conference interpretation, and virtual assisstants virtual assistants.
Initial results of the Scientific Computing World (SCW) HPC readership survey have shown training and support for HPC resources are the number one concern for both those that operate and manage HPC facilities and researchers using HPC resources
The European Extreme Data & Computing Initiative (EXDCI) project final conference will deliver 6 decisive keynotes and a joint session with Eurolab4HPC and HiPEAC, that will cover all the fields of the recent evolution of the EU HPC ecosystem.
University of Manchester researchers investigating the gait and biomechanics of the T.rex have concluded that the animal would be unable to run as its leg bones would have buckled under the animal’s weight
The university of Aberdeen in the UK has announced that it is launching a new master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence
A powerful computer system capable of revolutionising the UK’s ability to plan for extreme events, such as flooding and power outages, is being designed as part of a government scheme to increase the nation’s resiliency to extreme weather events
The makers of the Raspberry Pi were awarded the UK’s top engineering innovation prize – the Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award – for the impact that the microcomputer
The benefit of design exploration and optimization is understood and accepted by engineers but the required intensive computational resources have been a challenge for their adoption into the design process. The HyperWorks Unlimited (HWUL) appliance provides an effective solution to these challenges as it seamlessly connects all the necessary tools together in the cloud. The aim of this study is to showcase the benefits of HWUL on an optimization driven design of a complex system. For this purpose, an automotive seat design for crash loadcases is selected as an example.
The second annual ARM Research Summit is an academic meeting to discuss future trends and disruptive technologies across all sectors of computing. It will take place in Cambridge over the 11-13 September 2017, and will be hosted at Robinson College.
The Summit includes talks from the leaders in their research fields, demonstrations, networking opportunities and the chance to interact and discuss projects with members of ARM Research.
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
