In-Network Computing Technology to Enable Data-Centric HPC and AI Platforms
November 5, 2018 by
Mellanox Technologies’ Gilad Shainer explores one of the biggest tech transitions over the past 20 years: the transition from CPU-centric data centers to data-centric data centers, and the role of in-network computing in this shift. “The latest technology transition is the result of a co-design approach, a collaborative effort to reach Exascale performance by taking a holistic system-level approach to fundamental performance improvements. As the CPU-centric approach has reached the limits of performance and scalability, the data center architecture focus has shifted to the data, and how to bring compute to the data instead of moving data to the compute.”
Why the Choice of DRAM in the Data Center is so Critical
August 16, 2018 by
By working with a manufacturer of DRAM products that deliver a diversity of components, data center operators can be assured that they will not have a patchwork of suppliers to work with. This guest post from Kingston Technology explores different storage structures and why DRAM performance is so crucial to data center success.
Performance in the Datacenter

Managed Implementation of Liquid Cooling
June 28, 2018 by
The need for high reliability cooling without reducing the rack density to handle high wattage nodes is no easy task. “Asetek’s direct-to-chip liquid cooling provides a distributed cooling architecture to address the full range of heat rejection scenarios. It is based on low pressure, redundant pumps and sealed liquid path cooling within each server node.”

While the merits of in-house vs. cloud vs. colo have been vigorously debated — and will likely continue for some time — a new report is aimed at those already sold on the colo concept. Download the white paper from Instor for considerations, tips and potential landmines to watch out for those looking to utilize colocation in 2018.
Data Center Workloads: How to Successfully Manage Convergence
December 1, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Mixing workloads rather than creating separate application domains is key to efficiency and productivity. Specific software is typically needed only in certain phases of product development, leaving systems idle the rest of the time. Download the insideHPC guide that explores how a powerful scheduling and resource management solution — such as Bright Cluster Manager — can slot other workloads into those idle clusters, thereby gaining maximum value from the hardware and software investment, and rewarding IT administrators with satisfied users.
