[Sponsored Post] When you have data in the driver’s seat, it’s a smooth ride. Any other operator, you risk a bumpy experience. The explosion of Digital Transformation is driving a rapid increase in investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies as enterprises seek a competitive edge.
Double-precision CPUs vs. Single-precision GPUs; HPL vs. HPL-AI HPC Benchmarks; Traditional vs. AI Supercomputers
July 20, 2021 by Leave a Comment
If you’ve wondered why GPUs are faster than CPUs, in part it’s because GPUs are asked to do less – or, to be more precise, to be less precise. Next question: So if GPUs are faster than CPUs, why aren’t GPUs the mainstream, baseline processor used in HPC server clusters? Again, in part it gets […]
Spend Less on HPC/AI Storage (and more on CPU/GPU compute)
July 19, 2021 by Leave a Comment
[SPONSORED POST] In this whitepaper courtesy of HPE, you’ll learn about the three approaches that can help you to feed your CPU- and GPU-accelerated compute nodes without I/O bottlenecks while creating efficiencies in Gartner’s Run category. As the market share leader in HPC servers, HPE saw the convergence of classic modeling and simulation with AI methods such as machine learning and deep learning coming and now offers you a new portfolio of parallel HPC/AI storage systems that are purpose engineered to address all of the previously mentioned challenges—in a cost-effective way.
Argonne-led Team of Scientists Use AI to Detect Gravitational Waves
July 7, 2021 by Leave a Comment
JULY 6, 2021 — When gravitational waves were first detected in 2015 by the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), they sent a ripple through the scientific community, as they confirmed another of Einstein’s theories and marked the birth of gravitational wave astronomy. Five years later, numerous gravitational wave sources have been detected, including the first […]

How to Integrate GPUs into your Business Analytics Ecosystem
June 1, 2021 by Leave a Comment
This whitepaper, “How to Integrate GPUs into your Business Analytics Ecosystem,” discusses how GPU technology can augment data analytics performance, enabling data warehouses and other solutions to better respond to new, yet common, database limitations that are the result of increasing data set sizes, increasing user concurrency and demand, and increased use of interactive analytics.
A New Approach to Storage and Data Management
May 18, 2021 by
In this sponsored post, Olivier Multon, Storage & Data Management Product Manager, Atos, BDS – Big Data & Security, believes that
with the expansion of data-intensive applications, storage has been highlighted as a critical factor in HPC. Data Management is key to optimize your entire system’s speed and performance. High-performance storage enables organizations to take full advantage of highly parallel applications and thus harness the power of supercomputing.
