Thinking Way, Way Outside The Box


The COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium has set records for global cooperation by giant companies, universities and various federal agencies and national laboratories. But it also may have cracked opened a door for much more than that. Until now, there has been a massive race for dominance in the data center. Big companies have gotten rich on data, building infrastructure at a col... » read more

Cloud And HPC Simulation Myths


Engineers are faced with the challenge of analyzing complex simulations while meeting tight deadlines. As a result, compute capacity is limiting the performance of many engineering organizations. High-performance computing (HPC) and cloud deployments can clear this simulation bottleneck. However, there are still misconceptions about the reliability, complexity, licensing, cost and security o... » read more

A Sneak Peek Into SVE And VLA Programming


Download this white paper to get an overview of SVE, get information on the new registers and the new instructions, and learn about the Vector Length Agnostic (VLA) programming technique, including some examples. The Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is an extension of the ARMv8-A A64 instruction set, recently announced by ARM. Following the announcement at Hot Chips 28, a few articles describ... » read more
