The Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) is offering rewards of up to $9,000 and a free benchmark license for application code and datasets accepted under its benchmark search program
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)
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.
Tate Cantrell, CTO, Verne Global, comments on the cost of the AI computing revolution
