VMware Powers Machine Learning & HPC Workloads
December 10, 2018 by
In this video from SC18 in Dallas, Ziv Kalminovich from VMware describes how the company’s powerful virtualization capabilities bring flexibility and performance to HPC workloads. “With VMware, you can capture the benefits of virtualization for HPC workloads while delivering performance that is comparable to bare-metal. Our approach to virtualizing HPC adds a level of flexibility, operational efficiency, agility and security that cannot be achieved in bare-metal environments—enabling faster time to insights and discovery.”
Bitfusion Enables InfiniBand-Attached GPUs on Any VM
November 16, 2018 by
“With Bitfusion along with Mellanox and VMWare, IT can now offer an ability to mix bare metal and virtual machine environments, such that GPUs in any configuration can be attached to any virtual machine in the organization, enabling easy access of GPUs to everyone in the organization,” said Subbu Rama, co-founder and chief product officer, Bitfusion. “IT can now pool together resources and offer an elastic GPU as a service to their organizations.”

Virtualizing AI & HPC Workloads with vSphere
June 18, 2018 by
In this video from the Dell EMC HPC Community Meeting, Josh Simons from VMware describes why more customers are moving their HPC & AI workloads to virtualized environments using vSphere. “With VMware, you can capture the benefits of virtualization for HPC workloads while delivering performance that is comparable to bare-metal. Our approach to virtualizing HPC adds a level of flexibility, operational efficiency, agility and security that cannot be achieved in bare-metal environments—enabling faster time to insights and discovery.”
AWS Announces EC2 Bare Metal instances and C5D instances with local SSD Storage
May 20, 2018 by
HPC in the Cloud got a boost this week with this announcement of two updates to the Amazon EC2 instance family. EC2 Bare Metal instances provide customers’ applications with direct access to the processor and memory resources of the underlying server. C5D instances with local SSD storage are designed for applications that benefit from high-speed, ultra-low latency local storage, such as video encoding, manipulation, and other forms of media processing that often include large numbers of reads and writes to temporary storage.
Video: VMware powers HPC Virtualization at NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference
March 28, 2018 by
In this video from from 2018 GPU Technology Conference, Ziv Kalmanovich from VMware and Fred Devoir from NVIDIA describe how they are working together to bring the benefits of virtualization to GPU workloads. “For cloud environments based on vSphere, you can deploy a machine learning workload yourself using GPUs via the VMware DirectPath I/O or vGPU technology.”
Sharing High-Performance Interconnects Across Multiple Virtual Machines
March 1, 2018 by
Mohan Potheri from VMware gave this talk at the Stanford HPC Conference. “Virtualized devices offer maximum flexibility. This session introduces SR-IOV, explains how it is enabled in VMware vSphere, and provides details of specific use cases that important for machine learning and high-performance computing. It includes performance comparisons that demonstrate the benefits of SR-IOV and information on how to configure and tune these configurations.”
