In a new white paper, AMD redefines the Compute Core as “Any core capable of running at least one process in its own context and virtual memory space, independently from other cores.” It’s a fascinating look into the new Kaveri chip and HSA.

HPC: Stop Scaling the Hard Way
…today’s situation is clear: HPC is struggling with reliability at scale. Well over 10 years ago, Google proved that commodity hardware was both cheaper and more effective for hyperscale processing when controlled by software-defined systems, yet the HPC market persists with its old-school, hardware-based paradigm. Perhaps this is due to prevailing industry momentum or working within the collective comfort zone of established practices. Either way, hardware-centric approaches to storage resiliency need to go.

Industrial Servers Ramp Up AI for Robotic Arms
Ramping up AI technology holds the key to deploying robotic arms at-scale. This case study from our friends over at Advantech explores the benefits of augmenting robotic arms with AI. It also explains how AI-ready industrial servers differ from a typical server found in a data center and looks at the partnership between Advantech and Micron for memory and storage powering AI in smart manufacturing.
