A Cornucopia Of Memory And Bandwidth In The Agilex-M FPGA
When it comes to memory for compute engines, FPGAs – or rather what we have started calling hybrid FPGAs because they have all kinds of hard coded logic as well as the FPGA programmable logic on a single package – have the broadest selection of memory types of any kind of device out there. …

GraphCore Goes 3D With AI Chips, Architects 10 Exaflops Ultra-Intelligent Machine
The 3D stacking of chips has been the subject of much speculation and innovation in the past decade, and we will be the first to admit that we have been mostly thinking about this as a way to cram more capacity into a given compute engine while at the same time getting components closer together along the Z axis and not just working in 2D anymore down on the X and Y axes. …

NCAR Pits Azure Cloud Against Its Own Big Iron For Climate Models
When people think of supercomputers, they think of a couple of different performance vectors (pun intended), but usually the first thing they think of is the performance of a big, parallel machine as it runs one massive job scaling across tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of cores working in concert. …

Intel Unfolds Xeon Roadmap With More Cores, Denser Transistors
We were complaining a few weeks ago that Intel had not put out a server processor roadmap of any substance in a long time, and instead of just leaving it at that, we created our own Xeon SP roadmap based on rumors, speculation, hunches, and desires. …

The Next – And More Profitable – 10 Percent Of Server Share For AMD
When this is all said and done, Intel will deserve some kind of award for keeping its 14 nanometer processes moving along enough as it gets its 10 nanometer and 7 nanometer processes knocked together to still, somehow, manage to retain dominant market share in the server space. …
