Exploring Advanced Memory Architectures for the Exascale Era
One major barrier to unlocking future system performance is overcoming the bandwidth bottlenecks that limit inter-processor and memory performance. Today’s high-performance computing (HPC) systems must process massive amounts of data, and the growth of data will only increase in the exascale computing era. There have been major advances in processors and accelerators (XPUs) used to […]

Why Storage Infrastructure Choices Matter for Data-Intensive Organizations
Oracle’s next generation HPC architecture with Intel compute instance based on 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, code named "Ice Lake", changes the game for HPC in the Cloud. The new HPC Bare Metal instance delivers performance gains of up to 42% compared to the previous generation HPC instance. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with Intel’s 3rd generation processors also offers the flexibility to choose the right combination of cores and memory to suit workloads. The price per core-hour stays the same as the previous HPC instance, across all Oracle Cloud regions. This combination of improved performance and flat pricing translates to faster simulations and big cost savings.
Join Oracle and Intel and learn how customers are increasing performance for HPC workloads across batch processing, video encoding, electronic design automation (EDA), distributed analytics, data science, AI, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
