Science and Industry using Supercomputers
August 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
This paper is intended for people interested in High Performance Computing (HPC) in general, in the performance development of HPC systems from the beginning in the 1970s and, above all, in HPC applications in the past, today and tomorrow. Readers do not need to be supercomputer experts.
Supercomputers for All
August 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Supercomputers may date back to the 1960s, but it is only recently that their vast processing power has begun to be harnessed by industry and commerce, to design safer cars, build quieter aeroplanes, speed up drug discovery, and subdue the volatility of the financial markets. The need for powerful computers is growing, says Catherine Rivière […]

LexisNexis, an industry leader in data content, data aggregation, and information services, faced this information explosion challenge
early on. The company independently developed a massively parallel processing (MPP) solution for data-intensive computing called the Data Analytics Supercomputer (DAS). For more than a decade, LexisNexis has been using the DAS internally to power its multi-billion dollar LexisNexis Accurint® public records business. This is the fusion of over 24,000 structured and unstructured data sources that are cleansed, linked, and disambiguated on the DAS.

Software Defined Storage for Dummies
August 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Software defined storage is a relatively new concept in
the computing and storage industry and can refer to many different technologies and implementations. Software defined storage is part of a larger industry trend that includes software defined networking (SDN) and software defined data centers (SDDC). This chapter explains exactly what software defined storage is.
Clusters for Dummies: IBM Platform
August 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Clustering may sound exotic, it isn’t. Cluster technology relies on fast networks and some clever software to schedule and manage big, complex computing jobs on relatively inexpensive server and networking technology. Major players in industries from pharmaceuticals to oil and gas exploration to chip design bet their bottom lines on clusters and they win big. You can do likewise.
HPC Storage InsideHPC Guide
