Nvidia’s H100 Debuts in ‘Henri,’ Topping the Green500 List

November 14, 2022

Nvidia’s H100 GPU, the flagship of its Hopper architecture, has debuted on the Top500 and Green500 lists at SC22. The new GPU appears in the relatively small Read more…

At ISC, the Green500 Witnesses a New Frontier in Efficient Computing

June 8, 2022

Back in 2008, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) set an ambitious target: an exascale supercomputer in a 20-megawatt envelope. That targ Read more…

The Green500’s Crystal Anniversary Sees MN-3 Crystallize Its Winning Streak

December 2, 2021

“This is the 30th Green500,” said Wu Feng, custodian of the Green500 list, at the list’s SC21 birds-of-a-feather session. “You could say 15 years of Green500, which makes it, I guess, the crystal anniversary.” Indeed, HPCwire marked the 15th anniversary of the Green500 – which ranks supercomputers by flops-per-watt, rather than just by flops – earlier this year with...

15 Years Later, the Green500 Continues Its Push for Energy Efficiency as a First-Order Concern in HPC

July 15, 2021

The Green500 list, which ranks the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world, has virtually always faced an uphill battle. As Wu Feng – custodian of the Green500 list and an associate professor at Virginia Tech – tells it, “noone" cared about energy efficiency in the early 2000s, when the seeds... Read more…

Top500: Fugaku Still on Top; Perlmutter Debuts at #5

June 28, 2021

The 57th Top500, revealed today from the ISC 2021 digital event, showcases many of the same systems as the previous edition, with Fugaku holding its significant lead and only one new entrant in the top 10 cohort: the Perlmutter system at the DOE Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory enters the list at number five with 65.69 Linpack petaflops. Perlmutter is the largest... Read more…

Penguin Computing Scyld Cloud Central™: A New Cloud-First Approach to HPC and AI Workloads

Making the Most of Today’s Cloud-First Approach to Running HPC and AI Workloads With Penguin Scyld Cloud Central™

Bursting to cloud has long been used to complement on-premises HPC capacity to meet variable compute demands. But in today’s age of cloud, many workloads start on the cloud with little IT or corporate oversight. What is needed is a way to operationalize the use of these cloud resources so that users get the compute power they need when they need it, but with constraints that take costs and the efficient use of existing compute power into account.

QCT POD- An Adaptive Converged Platform for HPC and AI

Data center infrastructure running AI and HPC workloads requires powerful microprocessor chips and the use of CPUs, GPUs, and acceleration chips to carry out compute intensive tasks. AI and HPC processing generate excessive heat which results in higher data center power consumption and additional data center costs.

Data centers traditionally use air cooling solutions including heatsinks and fans that may not be able to reduce energy consumption while maintaining infrastructure performance for AI and HPC workloads. Liquid cooled systems will be increasingly replacing air cooled solutions for data centers running HPC and AI workloads to meet heat and performance needs.

QCT worked with Intel to develop the QCT QoolRack, a rack-level direct-to-chip cooling solution which meets data center needs with impressive cooling power savings per rack over air cooled solutions, and reduces data centers’ carbon footprint with QCT QoolRack smart management.
