In this sponsored post, Matthew Ziegler at Lenovo discusses today’s metric for raw speed of compute. Much like racing cars, servers do “time trials” to gauge their performance relative to a given workload. There are more Spec or Web benchmarks out there for servers than there are racetracks and drag strips. Perhaps the most important measure is the raw calculating throughput that a system delivers: FLOPS, or Floating-Point Operations Per Second.
Accelerate Your Applications with ROCm
September 28, 2020 by
In this sponsored post by our friends over at AMD, discuss how the ROCm platform is designed so that a wide range of developers can develop accelerated applications. An entire eco-system has been created, allowing developers to focus on developing their leading-edge applications.
Accelerate Your Development of GPU Based Innovative Applications
September 18, 2020 by
In this sponsored post by our friends over at AMD, we take a deep into how GPUs have become an essential component of innovative organizations that require the highest performing clusters, whether one server or thousands of servers. Many High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Machine Learning (ML) applications have demonstrated tremendous performance gains by using one or more GPUs in conjunction with powerful CPUs. Over 25% of the Top500 list of the most powerful supercomputers on this planet use accelerators, specifically GPUs, to achieve teraflop and petaflop speeds.

Brightskies Deploys Open Source RTM Application for Easy Optimization across Multiple Architectures
August 19, 2020 by
In this sponsored post on behalf of Intel, we see that in today’s high-performance computing applications, many different pieces of hardware can perform data-centric functions. With diverse accelerators entering the market, programming for multiple architectures has created significant development barriers for software developers.
Paradigm Change: Reinventing HPC Architectures with In-Package Optical I/O
July 20, 2020 by Leave a Comment
In this white paper, our friends over at Ayar Labs discuss an important paradigm change: reinventing HPC architectures with in-package optical I/O. The introduction of in-package optical I/O technology helps HPC centers accelerate the slope of compute progress needed to tackle ever-growing scientific problem sizes and HPC/AI convergence. Ayar Labs expects to not only see its technology extend the traditional type of architecture to put the HPC industry back on track, but also result in an inflection point that fundamentally changes the slope of the compute performance efficiency curve. The key will be enabling converged HPC/AI centers to build systems with disaggregated CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and custom ASICs interconnected on equal footing.
