Conflicting Goals In Data Centers
By Gale Morrison - 06 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

Two conflicting goals are emerging inside of data centers—speed at any cost, and the ability to extend hardware well beyond its expected lifetime to amortize that cost. Layered across both of those are concerns about how to move data back and forth more efficiently, how to secure it, and how to best integrate different generations of technology. But these widely different goals have create... » read more

Constructing The Pillars Of The ARM HPC Ecosystem
By Darren Cepulis - 22 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

In talking with HPC users at SC15 following the announcement of the OpenHPC project, I consistently heard that while they valued having a common open source framework covering a baseline set of HPC codes, they wanted to see more than one chip architecture represented. This is important when you consider that many HPC users are focused on getting to exascale computing for future supercomputer de... » read more
