Supercomputing has evolved from niche uses, such as for weather predictions, and is now driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning, with the power of these systems dramatically increasing. The present and the future of high-performance computing were on display during The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis event, also known […]

Since traditional computers can’t keep up with certain advanced computing demands, quantum computing has emerged as a real solution. Quantum computing uses quantum bit, or qubit, to tackle challenges that aren’t possible on even some of the world’s largest computers. The technology merges mathematics, physics and computer science concepts to solve these challenges. Addressing this market need, […]

The exhibition floor at Supercomputing 2022 in Dallas had barely opened this week before a series of announcements began to trickle out. Nvidia Corp. introduced new high-performance computing solutions for researchers. Cerebras Systems Inc. unveiled an AI supercomputer that can perform 1 quintillion operations per second. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. announced a new portfolio for […]

Nvidia Corp. today announced that it’s partnering with Microsoft Corp. to build a supercomputer optimized for running artificial intelligence software.

Chip startup Cerebras Systems Inc. today debuted Andromeda, a supercomputer optimized to run artificial intelligence applications that features more than 13.5 million processor cores. Sunnyvale, California-based Cerebras Systems is backed by more than $720 million in venture funding. The startup sells a chip called the WSE-2 that is specifically designed to run AI software. The new […]

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has long been one of the world’s largest consumers of supercomputing capacity. With computing power of more than 200 petaflops, or 200 billion floating-point operations per second, the U.S. Department of Energy-operated institution runs supercomputers from every major U.S. manufacturer. For the past two years, that lineup has included two newcomers: […]

Nvidia Corp. is expanding its product portfolio with new software capabilities and a high-performance computing platform that scientists can use to accelerate research initiatives. The updates were set to make their debut today at the annual Supercomputing 2022 event. During the SC22 event, Nvidia also will detail its work with Lockheed Martin Corp. to build […]

High-performance computing has filled a need for rapid data processing and calculations at scale, opening up the enterprise user base to innovate at breakneck speeds. But as cutting-edge tech, such as the cloud, work to undercut supercomputing, especially in cost, what response does the HPC industry have to make a case for its sustained relevance? The […]

The field of high-performance computing has grown with the rest of the technology world, progressing from its use as a niche tool for weather prediction and nuclear weapons modeling to providing support for an increasing number of enterprise use cases. What this means for the future of HPC will be the focus during upcoming International Conference […]

The world is on the precipice of a revolution in hardware as engineers push the boundaries of physics to build black boxes that contain the power of infinite innovation possibilities.
