AMD Is Finally Trusted In The Datacenter Again
This is how a competitive chip market is supposed to look, and this is how a competitive chip maker recovers from faults, competes against a seemingly unassailable foe, and then rides up the revenue and income curves to be able to invest in the future and profit from the present. …

IBM Starts Showing A Little Hybrid Vigor
IBM may not be the biggest provider of systems in terms of the size of its customer base, but of the top 5,000 or so companies worldwide that are not hyperscalers and cloud builders in their own right, Big Blue does have a sizeable share of the system budget. …

Waiting – Not Precisely Patiently – For Exascale
There was an outside chance that China might pull a surprise on the HPC community and launch the first true exascale system – meaning capable of more than 1 exaflops of peak theoretical 64-bit floating point performance if you want to be generous, and 1 exaflops sustained on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark if you don’t – but that didn’t happen. …

The Many Other High Costs Cloud Users Pay
Isn’t it funny how the same hyperscalers who are maniacal about building everything themselves – and who are making a fortune selling access to their infrastructure as cloud services – want you to use their Seriously Hard Information Technology and stop using your own? …

Enfabrica Takes On Hyperdistributed I/O Bottlenecks
Not so very long ago, distributed computing meant clustering together a bunch of cheap X86 servers and equipping them with some form of middleware that allowed for work to be distributed across hundreds to thousands to sometimes tens of thousands of nodes. …

Forget Mesos And OpenStack, Hashi Stack Is The New Next Platform
While a lot of software for creating and managing scale comes out of supercomputing centers, hyperscalers, and the largest public cloud builders, there is still plenty of innovation being done by people who need to tackle scale outside of these upper echelon organizations. …
