In this video from SC12, Lars Koesterke from the Texas Advanced Computing Center describes how hundreds of science applications are being ported to the the new Stampede supercomputer powered by the Intel Xeon Phi.
…today’s situation is clear: HPC is struggling with reliability at scale. Well over 10 years ago, Google proved that commodity hardware was both cheaper and more effective for hyperscale processing when controlled by software-defined systems, yet the HPC market persists with its old-school, hardware-based paradigm. Perhaps this is due to prevailing industry momentum or working within the collective comfort zone of established practices. Either way, hardware-centric approaches to storage resiliency need to go.
This whitepaper reviews how cutting-edge solutions from Supermicro and NVIDIA are enabling customers to transform and capitalize on HPC and AI innovation. Data is the driving force for success in the global marketplace. Data volumes are erupting in size and complexity as organizations work to collect, analyze, and derive intelligence from a growing number of sources and devices. These workloads are critical to powering applications that translate insight into business value.
