In this contributed article, Jonathan Friedmann, CEO & Co-Founder of Speedata, discusses a paradigm shift that is already underway. CPU’s leading role in datacenters is no longer a given, and as database workloads grow increasingly varied, market forces will point more and more in a clear direction: the development of new, dedicated, accelerated solutions. Data workloads are only going to grow more diverse and intricate from here. The same holds true for the chips that will process them.
An Approach to Democratizing HPC-Style Computing
February 3, 2022 by
In this sponsored post, Ehsan Totoni, CTO of Bodo.ai, discusses opportunities to integrate a parallelization approach – capable of scaling to 10k cores or more – into popular cloud-based Data Warehouses to help speed large-scale analytics and ELT computing. And, because the model can be engineered for various special-purpose hardware and accelerators, there are opportunities to apply this to GPUs and FPGAs for media processing and encoding as well.
Deeplite Accelerates AI on Arm CPUs Using Ultra-Compact Quantization
January 4, 2022 by
Deeplite, a provider of AI optimization software designed to make AI model inference faster, more compact and energy-efficient, today announced Deeplite Runtime (DeepliteRT), a new addition to its platform that makes AI models even smaller and faster in production deployment, without compromising accuracy. Customers will benefit from lower power consumption, reduced costs and the ability to utilize existing Arm CPUs to run AI models.
Calling All HPC Programmers! Remove Code Barriers Using One Complete Software Suite
December 21, 2021 by

Double-precision CPUs vs. Single-precision GPUs; HPL vs. HPL-AI HPC Benchmarks; Traditional vs. AI Supercomputers
July 20, 2021 by
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
[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.

Radio Free HPC: Milan, Milan, Milan – and… How Will Intel Respond?
March 17, 2021 by
In this special episode, we break down AMD’s new EPYC 7003 series processor. We talk some speeds, plenty of feeds, look at their security defense, and talk about some world records. All in all, it’s an action-packed and fun episode, suitable for the entire family. In fact, we recommend you gather your family round to listen to this one as we’ll be talking about how the implications of this new CPU. Will it bring AMD back to their Opteron and dual-core glory days? Will it, as Opteron and dual-core did, prompt Intel into mounting a furious comeback? And how about the other chips on the horizon?
