@HPCpodcast: Addison Snell on the Present and Future of HPC-AI, Quantum, DeepSeek, Interconnects, Leadership Supercomputing
We delve into current market sizing for HPC-AI (the conjoining of the two being a relatively new focus), a look ahead at the rest of the year and the decade, the impact of hyperscalers on AI, the future of leadership computing (exascale.next), AI nationalism, the DeepSeek explosion, Nvidia’s AI chips leadership and challenges ….
Sandia Rolls out Custom Instance of ChatGPT — SandiaAI Chat
In May 2024, Sandia National Laboratories began providing its employees with a large language model chatbot, called SandiaAI Chat, which the lab said is the first facility within the U.S. nuclear security enterprise to do so, enabling Sandia staff to ask sensitive, unclassified questions. Rather than buying a corporate ….
Vanguards of HPC-AI: Oak Ridge Lab’s Verónica G. Melesse Vergara — Unleashing ‘Breakthrough Science’
“One of the most fun aspects of HPC engineering is that you get to solve a broad range of problems getting an application to run well and run at scale – sometimes to even run at all. There is always something new to learn and the feeling of finding a solution ….”
With Accelerator SOC, South Korean Institute Says Country on Track to Become 5th HPC Manufacturer
The ETRI said that after its commercialization, this technology “will be a game-changer for Korea to become the world’s fifth nation to manufacture supercomputers,” after the U.S., China, Japan and the E.U. (France). The system-on-a-chip is named “K-AB21” ….

Azure HBv3 VMs and Excelero NVMesh Performance Results
Azure offers Virtual Machines (VMs) with local NVMe drives that deliver a tremendous amount of performance. These local NVMe drives are ephemeral, so if the VM fails or is deallocated, the data on the drives will no longer be available. Excelero NVMesh provides a means of protecting and sharing data on these drives, making their performance readily available, without risking data longevity. This eBook from Microsoft Azure and AMD in coordination with Excelero provides in-depth technical information about the performance and scalability of volumes generated on Azure HBv3 VMs with this software-defined-storage layer.
Meet modern compliance: Using AI and data to manage business risk better
Compliance programs must use robust technology and data analytics to assess their own actions and those of any third parties they do business with. At the very least, companies are expected to be able to explain the rationale for using third parties. This is a compliance game-changer. Historically, organizations could argue that they simply did […]
HPC Cost Modeling
This ebook from our friends over at Rescale, focuses on why the historical methodology for determining cost, price per core hour is at best incapable of providing effective cost optimization for HPC workloads. At worst, it could increase your overall cost of ownership and slow innovation and productivity. Assessing the cost of your HPC practice […]
