Intel has a long history of making important announcements at the annual Supercomputer shows, and this year was no exception. This guest post from Intel covers what new technology was front and center from Intel at SC18, including its Cascade Lake advanced performance processors, Intel Optane Persistent Memory and more. Learn more about these new technologies designed to accelerate the convergence of high-performance computing and AI.
Choosing the Right Type of Cloud for HPC Lets Scientists Focus on Science
October 25, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Naoki Shibata from XTREME-D writes that choosing the right type of cloud computing is key to increasing efficiency. “One challenge that HPC, DA, and DL end users face is to keep focused on their science and engineering and not get bogged down with system administration and platform details when ensuring that they have the clusters they need for their work. It has often been said that if scalable cluster computing can become more turnkey and user-friendly (and less costly), then the market will expand to many new areas.”
Point and Click HPC: The XTREME-Stargate laaS Platform
XTREME-D’s next step in offering seamless HPC/DA/DL computing is the XTREME-Stargate gateway platform, or cluster portal. This on-prem device acts as a cluster “head node” and provides secure and fast access to bare-metal clusters that are configured using enhanced XTREME-DNA technology. Download the full paper to learn more about how XTREME-Stargate offers a “super head node” for HPC cloud clusters.
Cloud and Enterprise Adopting HPC-proven CPU-based Interactive, Photorealistic Rendering
