Radio Free HPC Looks at the IBM/Lenovo Deal
January 27, 2014 by
“Lenovo looks to have gotten a great price, but what will this mean to the Cloud and HPC market? Rich Brueckner sees a big opportunity here for competitors like Cray and SGI. As for what this means to Platform and GPFS, Henry Newman and Dan Olds are in complete disagreement.”
Programming GPUs Directly from Python Using NumbaPro
January 26, 2014 by
“NumbaPro is a powerful compiler that takes high-level Python code directly to the GPU producing fast-code that is the equivalent of programming in a lower-level language. It contains an implementation of CUDA Python as well as higher-level constructs that make it easy to map array-oriented code to the parallel architecture of the GPU.”
