Since our initial coverage of the TSUBAME3.0 supercomputer yesterday, more details have come to light on this innovative project. Of particular interest is a new board design for NVLink-equipped Pascal P100 GPUs that will create another entrant to the space currently occupied by Nvidia's DGX-1 system, IBM's "Minsky" platform and the Supermicro SuperServer (1028GQ-TXR).

At first blush, and maybe second blush too, Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s (HPE) purchase of SGI seems like an unambiguous win-win. SGI’s advanced shared memory technology, its popular UV product line (Hanna), deep vertical market expertise, and services-led go-to-market capability all give HPE a leg up in its drive to remake itself. Bear in mind HPE came into existence just a year ago with the split of Hewlett-Packard. The computer landscape, including HPC, is shifting with still unclear consequences. One wonders who’s next on the deal block following Dell’s recent merger with EMC. Read more…

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced today that it will acquire rival HPC server maker SGI for $7.75 per share, or about $275 million, inclusive of cash and debt. The deal ends the seven-year reprieve that kept the SGI banner flying after Rackable Systems purchased the bankrupt Silicon Graphics Inc. for $25 million in 2009 and assumed the SGI brand. Bringing SGI into its fold bolsters HPE's high-performance computing and data analytics capabilities and expands its position... Read more…
Five Recommendations to Optimize Data Pipelines
When building AI systems at scale, managing the flow of data can make or break a business. The various stages of the AI data pipeline pose unique challenges that can disrupt or misdirect the flow of data, ultimately impacting the effectiveness of AI storage and systems.
With so many applications and diverse requirements for data types, management systems, workloads, and compliance regulations, these challenges are only amplified. Without a clear, continuous flow of data throughout the AI data lifecycle, AI models can perform poorly or even dangerously.
To ensure your AI systems are optimized, follow these five essential steps to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize efficiency.
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is an elite public research university located in Karlsruhe, Germany and is engaged in a broad range of disciplines in natural sciences, engineering, economics, humanities, and social sciences. For institutions like KIT, HPC has become indispensable to cutting-edge research in these areas.
KIT’s HoreKa supercomputer supports hundreds of research initiatives including a project aimed at predicting when the Earth’s ozone layer will be fully healed. With HoreKa, projects like these can process larger amounts of data enabling researchers to deepen their understanding of highly complex natural processes.
Read this case study to learn how KIT implemented their supercomputer powered by Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, featuring Lenovo Neptune™ liquid cooling technology, to attain higher performance while reducing power consumption.
