DGX Cloud Is Here: Nvidia’s AI Factory Services Start at $37,000

March 21, 2023

If you are a die-hard Nvidia loyalist, be ready to pay a fortune to use its AI factories in the cloud. Renting the GPU company's DGX Cloud, which is an all-inclusive AI supercomputer in the cloud, starts at $36,999 per instance for a month. The rental includes access to a cloud computer with eight Nvidia H100 or A100 GPUs and 640GB... Read more…

AMD’s Genoa CPUs Offer Up to 96 5nm Cores Across 12 Chiplets

November 10, 2022

AMD’s fourth-generation Epyc processor line has arrived, starting with the “general-purpose” architecture, called “Genoa,” the successor to third-gen Eypc Milan, which debuted in March of last year. At a launch event held today in San Francisco, AMD announced the general availability of the latest Epyc CPUs with up to 96 TSMC 5nm Zen 4 cores... Read more…

Microsoft Rolls Out Ampere Altra Arm CPUs in Azure

April 5, 2022

There was a time when “the cloud” ran on pretty vanilla x86 architecture, save for boutique firms like Nimbix (acquired by Atos last year) that pioneered the use of then-exotic hardware like GPUs and FPGAs and other Intel alternatives. If further evidence was needed of the... Read more…

Big Three Cloud Providers Halt New Business in Russia

March 10, 2022

Add Amazon Web Services to the growing list of companies (tech and otherwise) that are curtailing business with Russia in opposition to President Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. As reported in the New York Times and then by Amazon itself, Amazon Web Services is blocking new sign-ups from Russia and Belarus. Existing customers are not impacted. “We’ve suspended shipment of retail... Read more…

ISC Keynote: Why Quantum Computing Matters and the Race for Practical Uses

June 29, 2021

Matthias Troyer, who leads Microsoft’s quantum computing research, is on a mission, actually two missions. One is to develop practical applications for quantum computing. The other, also important, is to convince the HPC community that efforts to develop quantum computing – so frequently overhyped and off-putting... 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.
