Power/Performance Bits: Dec. 5
By Jesse Allen - 05 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 0

Solar jet fuel Researchers at ETH Zurich demonstrated the ability to use solar energy to create the precursor to jet fuel from water and carbon dioxide, a process that could lead to carbon-neutral air travel. The scientists performed 295 consecutive cycles in a 4 kW solar reactor, yielding 700 standard liters of hydrogen and carbon monoxide (syngas), the precursor to kerosene and other liqu... » read more

Strategic Value Of High-Performance Computing For Research And Innovation
By Ansys - 11 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

High-performance computing (HPC) is an enormous part of the present and future of engineering simulation. HPC enables engineers and researchers to gain high-fidelity insight into product behavior — insight that cannot be obtained without detailed simulation models. When applied to design exploration, HPC can lead to robust product performance and reduced warranty and maintenance costs. Wim Sl... » read more

Evaluating Speedcore IP For Your ASIC
By Achronix - 04 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

By exploiting Achronix Speedcore embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP — IP proven in multiple ASIC designs for wireless, datacenter and high-performance computing (HPC) applications — designers of SoCs can now add logic programmability to their solution, resulting in a single ASIC that can adapt to many applications. While many system architects may already have strong ideas on how an eFPGA core could ... » read more

Start Your HBM/2.5D Design Today
By eSilicon - 28 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

High-bandwidth memory (HBM) is a JEDEC-defined standard, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) technology that uses through-silicon vias (TSVs) to interconnect stacked DRAM die. In its first implementation, it is being integrated with a system-on-chip (SoC) logic die using 2.5D silicon interposer technology. In June 2015, AMD introduced its Fiji processor, the first HBM 2.5D design, which comp... » read more

Beyond The Desktop
By Ansys - 10 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Over the past 10 years, computer-aided engineering (CAE), and more generally virtual prototyping, has been increasingly recognized in product design. Simulation-driven prototyping fuels innovation in the manufacturing industry and helps users explore real-world behaviors of products. CAE helps enterprises innovate to: • Compete • Cope with increasingly demanding regulations • Improve p... » read more

An Easier Path To Faster C With FPGAs
By Zibi Zalewski - 22 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

For most scientists, what is inside a high-performance computing platform is a mystery. All they usually want to know is that a platform will run an advanced algorithm thrown at it. What happens when a subject matter expert creates a powerful model for an algorithm that in turn automatically generates C code that runs too slowly? FPGA experts have created an answer. More and more, the genera... » 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

Cloud Computing Best Practices For Engineering Simulations
By Ansys - 09 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Rapid growth in the use of engineering simulation tools – and in the demand for high performance computing (HPC) – is driving interest in cloud computing. Using the cloud for simulation presents unique challenges with different solution types required for specific use cases. This white paper describes eight best practices for cloud deployments that are fundamentally related to simulation... » read more

New Ways To Scale Performance
By Nigel Stephens - 25 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 0

Immense amounts of data are being collected today in areas such as meteorology, geology, astronomy, quantum physics, fluid dynamics, and pharmaceutical research. Exascale computing (the execution of a billion billion floating point operations, or exaFLOPs, per second) is the target that many HPC systems aspire to over the next 5 to 10 years. In addition, advances in data analytics and areas su... » read more

Rethinking Big Iron
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler One size does not fit all when it comes to the server market, and that may be the best option for low-power processor makers to gain a toehold in a world that until now has been almost laser-focused on performance. Even higher-performance versions of low-power processing architectures are starting to show up inside of datacenters. Many are application-specific ... » read more
