Podcast: Intel Select Solutions for HPC

In this podcast, Brock Taylor from Intel outlines the current portfolio of Intel Select Solutions for HPC: Simulation & Modeling, Simulation & Visualization, Genomic Analytics and HPC & AI Converged Clusters. “These solutions offer quick-to-deploy infrastructure optimized for analytics clusters and HPC applications. Pre-validation reduces complexity and helps make HPC more accessible and easier to maintain.”

Podcast: Advancing Scientific Research with HPC

In this podcast, Dana Chang from Atipa Technologies joins Conversations in the Cloud to discuss Atipa’s Polaris High Performance Computing and Visualization (HPCV) platform. “Today’s scientists need faster insights and visualize increasingly large data sets. The Atipa Polaris HPCV Platform uses 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the Intel Rendering Framework for CPU-based rendering. This enables a balanced performance for simulation and modeling or simulation and visualization. The pre-validated hardware of Intel Select Solutions saves time that would have been spent assessing and procuring configurations.”

Growing HPC Adoption Among Manufacturers

The global manufacturing industry is moving down the path to a fourth industrial revolution — Industry 4.0 — empowered by the opportunity to collect and analyze massive amounts of data. This guest post from Intel explores how the global manufacturing industry is moving toward HPC adoption, and how it is approaching an inflection point which Intel refers to as “HPC for Everyone.” 

Podcast: Bill Magro on Intel Select Solutions for Simulation & Modeling

In this Chip Chat Podcast, Dr. Bill Magro describes Intel Select Solutions for Simulation & Modeling. “In this interview, Dr. Magro discusses the evolution of HPC and how HPC’s scope has grown to incorporate workloads like AI and advanced analytics. Dr. Magro then focuses on Intel Select Solutions for Simulation & Modeling and how they are lowering costs and enabling more customers to take advantage of HPC.”

Intel Select Solutions: BigStack 2.0 for Genomics

BIGstack 2.0 incorporates our latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors, Intel 3D NAND SSD, and Intel FPGAs while also leveraging the latest genomic tools from the Broad Institute in GATK 3.8 and GATK 4.0. This new stack provides a 3.34x speed up in whole genome analysis and a 2.2x daily throughput increase. It is able to deliver these performance improvements with a cost of just $5.68 per whole genome analyzed. The result: researchers will be able to analyze more genomes, more quickly and at lower cost, enabling new discoveries, new treatment options, and faster diagnosis of disease.
