NVIDIA Pascal GPUs come to Advanced Clustering Technologies

Missouri-based Advanced Clustering Technologies is helping customers solve challenges by integrating NVIDIA Tesla P100 accelerators into its line of high performance computing clusters. Advanced Clustering Technologies builds custom, turn-key HPC clusters that are used for a wide range of workloads including analytics, deep learning, life sciences, engineering simulation and modeling, climate and weather study, energy exploration, and improving manufacturing processes. “NVIDIA-enabled GPU clusters are proving very effective for our customers in academia, research and industry,” said Jim Paugh, Director of Sales at Advanced Clustering. “The Tesla P100 is a giant step forward in accelerating scientific research, which leads to breakthroughs in a wide variety of disciplines.”

Radio Free HPC Gets the Scoop from Dan’s Daughter in Washington, D.C.

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team hosts Dan’s daughter Elizabeth. How did Dan get this way? We’re on a mission to find out even as Elizabeth complains of the early onset of Curmudgeon’s Syndrome. After that, we take a look at the Tsubame3.0 supercomputer coming to Tokyo Tech.

Pascal GPUs to Accelerate TSUBAME 3.0 Supercomputer at Tokyo Tech

“TSUBAME3.0 is expected to deliver more than two times the performance of its predecessor, TSUBAME2.5,” writes Marc Hamilton from Nvidia. “It will use Pascal-based Tesla P100 GPUs, which are nearly three times as efficient as their predecessors, to reach an expected 12.2 petaflops of double precision performance. That would rank it among the world’s 10 fastest systems according to the latest TOP500 list, released in November. TSUBAME3.0 will excel in AI computation, expected to deliver more than 47 PFLOPS of AI horsepower. When operated concurrently with TSUBAME2.5, it is expected to deliver 64.3 PFLOPS, making it Japan’s highest performing AI supercomputer.”

Radio Free HPC Recaps the GPU Technology Conference

In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team recaps the GPU Technology Conference, which wrapped up last week in San Jose.
Since Rich is traveling around in some desert somewhere, Dan and Henry go it alone and discuss the new Pascal (P1000) GPU, NVIDIA’s new server, and what happened at the concurrent OpenPOWER conference.”
