In this episode of @HPCpodcast, Shahin and Doug caught up with Steve Conway, former senior advisor at Hyperion Research and now head of his own consulting firm, Conway Communications. A well-known HPC executive and analyst who was formerly with IDC and Cray, Conway engages us in a wide ranging discussion – we start with edge HPC and trends towards massively-distributed, massively-heterogeneous computing, which takes us to the convergence of HPC and AI, mixed precision spectrum, the importance of simulation, the impact of exascale on general computing, the “indigenous technology” trend that has taken root in the U.S., China and Europe and it's impact on scientific collaboration, U.S.-China funding model differences, and the necessary ingredients for attracting top talent.The post @HPCpodcast: Industry Analyst Steve Conway Ranges Across the Global HPC Scene appeared first on High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC.

We visited with Microsoft Azure during ISC – here is our conversation with two HPC-AI specialists, Alex Jean and Dr. Lukasz Miroslaw, for an update on Azure’s line-up of new capabilities and services in support of advanced AI and machine learning.

Sept. 28, 2022 — Red Hat announced OpenStack Platform 17, designed for large-scale networks “with an open hybrid cloud vision,” the company said. “With this latest version, service providers can benefit from the delivery of new services and applications to meet changing demand, advanced networking and improved operational security features for their 4G and 5G […]The post Red Hat Announces OpenStack Platform 17 for At-Scale Networks appeared first on High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC.

Here at the @HPCpodcast, Shahin and Doug are treated to speaking with some of the world’s leading HPC computer scientists, the ones who have made a deep and lasting impact. We spoke with one of them this week: commercial cluster pioneer John Gustafson, CTO of Ceranovo and previously an AMD senior fellow, holder of senior positions at Intel, Massively Parallel Technologies, Inc. and ClearSpeed. How did Richard Feynman end up playing the bongo drums? How did a new take on Amdahl's Law help propel massively parallel computing and become Gustafson's Law? And what's wrong with the IEEE 754 number format that the new Posit format fixes? We go to the source as for answers to all these quetions.The post @HPCpodcast: Cluster Pioneer John Gustafson Talks Gustafson’s Law, Unums and Richard Feynman on the Bongos appeared first on High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC.

In our converesation with Adrian Cockcroft, we start with Netflix's move to the cloud, a significant event that helped put cloud computing on the map. Then it's on to Environment, Sustainability, and Governance (ESG), Formula-1 racing, and cloud configurations and interconnects for HPC and AI workloads. And we talk about accessing the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI) and its petabytes of data, including weather observations, ocean temperatures, climate projection data and satellite imagery, used by researchers and scientists....The post @HPCpodcast: AWS, Sun, eBay, Netflix (and Others) Vet Adrian Cockcroft Talks Cloud HPC-AI and the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative appeared first on High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC.

This week’s episode takes a look at emerging technologies driving new chip design and performance, which is to say many of the topics highlighted at the recent Hot Chips conference. Shahin and Doug talk about UCIe and why it could cause an industry ripple effect, the potential rebirth of Moore's law and 3D packaging, silicon photonics, inference in the device or in the data center, silicon for the edge, CXL, and code generation. This is followed by an update on quantum computing, discussing two important new papers on quantum machine learning and unstructured NP-complete problems. The field remains in its infancy, quantum remains various years away (depending on who you to talk to), all the while people in the field are making progress taking on different aspects of the quantum puzzle.The post @HPCpodcast: Hot Chips Conference, UCIe, 3D Packaging, CXL and a Revival of Moore’s Law? appeared first on High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC.

“Cloud computing” is one of the most overloaded terms in the history of information technology. Yes, there is the NIST Definition of Cloud Computing that many will point to, but the sheer number of adaptations of models for “enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand” access to computing resources knows no limit. In this sponsored post, our friends at Atos provide three major and very different types of issues and found that a common technology thread worked across the board. In fact, they also learned that while the models are different, organizations often benefit from more than one.The post The Three Variations of Supercomputing Cloud Technologies appeared first on High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC.
