NVIDIA Air Gun
The NVIDIA GPU Tech Conference has officially kicked off. The first keynote speaker, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, will begin in t-minus one hour. insideHPC will be providing live coverage!
In the mean time, I wanted to give our readers a little taste of the typical NVIDIA pizzaz when it comes to conference trends. What better to greet its visitors than a giant compressed air gun at the door? Wicked cool.
[SPONSORED GUEST ARTICLE] In tech, you’re either forging new paths or stuck in traffic. Tier 0 doesn’t just clear the road — it builds the autobahn. It obliterates inefficiencies, crushes bottlenecks, and unleashes the true power of GPUs. The MLPerf1.0 benchmark has made one thing clear ….
Today, every high-performance computing (HPC) workload running globally faces the same crippling issue: Congestion in the network.
Congestion can delay workload completion times for crucial scientific and enterprise workloads, making HPC systems unpredictable and leaving high-cost cluster resources waiting for delayed data to arrive. Despite various brute-force attempts to resolve the congestion issue, the problem has persisted. Until now.
In this paper, Matthew Williams, CTO at Rockport Networks, explains how recent innovations in networking technologies have led to a new network architecture that targets the root causes of HPC network congestion, specifically:
– Why today’s network architectures are not a sustainable approach to HPC workloads
– How HPC workload congestion and latency issues are directly tied to the network architecture
– Why a direct interconnect network architecture minimizes congestion and tail latency

I think that’s the airgun that the Mythbusters built for NVision last year to demonstrate Serial vs Parallel.
Randall, indeed it is! They have a large LCD screen alongside it with a video loop of the whole presentation.
