Laurence Horrocks-Barlow, technical director of OCF predicts that containerisation, cloud and GPU based workloads are all going to dominate the HPC environment in 2020
A new processing platform has been announced by Silicon Valley startup, Tachyum, which aims to combine the advantages of CPU and GP-GPU and sepcialised AI chips into a single platform
Robert Roe explores efforts to diversify the HPC processor market
Building on the enthusiasm generated last year with the release of the Ryzen processors, AMD has now released details of its forthcoming roll-out for the next generation of high-performance computing and graphics products during an event in Las Vegas prior to the opening of CES 2018
Genomic sequencing may be about to get a lot faster with the application of optical co-processing technologies that are being deployed to accelerate sequence alignment – a technique that is necessary to establish functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between the sequences
ARM-based HPC systems will be available by the end of 2017. At ISC High Performance 2017 Penguin Computing and Bull both announce that they will deliver products tailored for the HPC industry
ARM has taken a step into the artificial intelligence market with the announcement of a new micro-architecture - DynamIQ - specifically designed for artificial intelligence (AI)
Through the use of cutting-edge simulation, software engineers are developing innovative new wind energy technology and increasing the efficiency and durability of wind turbines. The drive to find sustainable energy sources is one of the most pressing concerns facing society.
Dame Sally Davies, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for England, pulls no punches when it comes to the threat of antibiotic resistance. She has called for an ‘Extinction Rebellion-type’ response to it, describing it as ‘catastrophic’ and ‘as dangerous as climate change’.
The Pistoia Alliance has been pioneering initiatives that will support organisations as they work to enable and engage Fair (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles of data management and stewardship in their organisations.
Achronix and Bittware collaborate on a new FPGA designed for cloud, AI and machine learning applications, writes Robert Roe
By increasing the energy efficiency of a supercomputer scientists can save huge amounts of money over the total lifecycle of the system. With ever-increasing core counts and increasingly large supercomputers, the drive for increased computational power comes at a cost.
