Nvidia Bakes Liquid Cooling into PCIe GPU Cards
Nvidia is bringing liquid cooling, which it typically puts alongside GPUs on the high-performance computing systems, to its mainstream server GPU portfolio. The company will start shipping its A100 PCIe Liquid Cooled GPU, which is based on the Ampere architecture, for servers later this year. The liquid-cooled GPU based on the company's new Hopper architecture for PCIe slots will ship early next year.
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Service Industry
In financial services, it is important to gain any competitive advantage. Your competition has access to most of the same data you do, as historical data is available to everyone in your industry. Your advantage comes with the ability to exploit that data better, faster, and more accurately than your competitors. With a rapidly fluctuating […]

5 HPC Optimization Techniques
For many organizations, decisions about whether to run HPC workloads in the cloud or in on-premises datacenters are less all-encompassing and more about leveraging both infrastructures strategically to optimize HPC workloads across hybrid environments. From multi-clouds to on-premises, dark, edge, and point of presence (PoP) datacenters, data comes from all directions and in all forms while HPC workloads run in every dimension of modern datacenter schemes. HPC has become multi-dimensional and must be managed as such.
This white paper explores several of these new strategies and tools for optimizing HPC workloads across all dimensions to achieve breakthrough results in Microsoft Azure.
