In this sponsored post, Agnès Boudot, SVP, Head of HPC, AI & Quantum at Atos, discusses how exascale means more than 10^18 or exaflops performance. For Atos, Exascale signifies delivering reliable, accurate, federated, and secured simulations anywhere (on-premises or in-the-cloud) at a reduced carbon footprint at exaflopic scale. Data is a crucial asset to society. The potential behind the data – the ultimate actionable insight generated from data, is the eventual game-changer in scientific and industry innovations and breakthroughs.
Can HPE GreenLake for HPC Deliver a Simpler User Experience than Public Cloud?
November 30, 2021 by
[Sponsored Post] When looking for a simple HPC user experience, many of us would naturally think of public cloud. But on-premises solutions like HPE GreenLake for HPC, powered by AMD EPYC processors, have picked up the advantages of public cloud without compromising performance. HPE GreenLake for HPC is designed to help you get the benefits of HPC without the deployment challenges. It’s a consumption-based solution that is fully managed and operated for you, just like public cloud.

On the Front Lines of AI Automation: Life Sciences and Chip Design
September 9, 2021 by
Given the right task, AI-driven machines can be empowered with supercharged IQs that make the smartest humans look dumb, or at least inefficient. As we watch advances made in task automation, we see it burgeoning into fields previously (last week) thought unimaginable. Two recent reports underline the trend. In one, Carnegie Mellon University is teaming […]
