Nvidia’s “Grace” Arm CPU Holds Its Own Against X86 For HPC
In many ways, the “Grace” CG100 server processor created by Nvidia – its first true server CPU and a very useful adjunct for extending the memory space of its “Hopper” GH100 GPU accelerators – was designed perfectly for HPC simulation and modeling workloads. …

A Tale Of Three Cloud Builders, All Seeking Dominance
While Amazon Web Services has first mover advantage when it comes to building a compute and storage cloud, it would be a mistake to believe that the division of the world’s largest online retailer can rest on its laurels. …

With Vista, TACC Now Has Three Paths To Its Future Horizon Supercomputer
The national supercomputing centers in the United States, Europe, and China are not only rich enough to build very powerful machines, but they are rich enough, thanks to their national governments, to underwrite and support multiple and somewhat incompatible architectures to hedge their bets and mitigate their risk. …

The Tough Road Still Ahead For Intel In The Datacenter
A few years back, when Intel went up on the rocks with its CPU and GPU designs largely because its chip research and manufacturing did not keep pace with the manufacturing and packaging advances made by foundry rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, we said that we were rapidly moving towards a world where Intel might have 40 percent of the CPU market, AMD might have 40 percent, and Arm and RISC-V would fight over the remaining 19 percent and 1 percent remaining for other exotic datacenter compute engine chippery. …

Big Blue Bucks The Datacenter Server Recession
Some patterns are very hard to break. From the very early days of the systems business as we know it, which started six decades ago, the fourth quarter of the calendar year has been the money maker for companies like IBM, and the second quarter has been a relatively big one for those who could not get their budgets together before the end of the prior year. …

Chip Packaging Trumps EDA: Why Synopsys Is Paying $35 Billion For Ansys
Here is how you know that the way chiplets are linked together to create what might have otherwise been a monolithic device is now more important than the way that the chiplets themselves are designed. …

No More Roach Motels For Data In The Clouds
The central tenets of cloud computing, which really ought to be called utility computing, is that you only pay for what you use and that you can turn compute, storage, and networking off when you are not actually using, thus freeing up capacity for those who need it. …
