Ford Lead Says HPC, GPUs, AI Are Keys to Driving Progress

Nov 22, 2024 | nextplatform.com | Nicole Hemsoth Prickett |Nicole Hemsoth

Like all auto manufacturers, Ford is pursuing what can only be described as a profound digital transformation. At the SC24 conference, David Kepczynski, the carmaker’s global chief of digital transformation for product development, outlined how high-performance computing, GPU acceleration, and AI/ML are reshaping the company’s approach to everything from safety, performance, and connected vehicles.
NSF Comes to SC24 With Money Map, AI Blueprint

Nov 22, 2024 | nextplatform.com | Nicole Hemsoth Prickett |Nicole Hemsoth

You’d be forgiven for thinking the annual Supercomputing Conference (SC24) was a global AI-specific event this year. From the show floor to a sizable portion of sessions, much of the discussion was how, where, and to what extent AI will reshape good old fashioned, 64-bit HPC. In addition to the technical program, some of the leadership-focused talks also emphasized AI with only the merest nod to traditional HPC.
HEAD Cloud-Based HPC to Improve Performance and Save Resources

Feb 13, 2024 | nextplatform.com | Nicole Hemsoth Prickett |Nicole Hemsoth

PARTNER CONTENT: Trillion-dollar industries are exploring new ways of increasing high performance computing (HPC) performance, while saving resources and reducing costs. Scientists and engineers are looking to build robust HPC infrastructure to run complex workloads in the most energy-efficient approach. As a result, organizations are re-evaluating how they architect compute infrastructure to run HPC workloads, identify new ways to improve application performance, and reduce energy consumption.
Everything We Know About China’s New “Tianhe Xingyi” Supercomputer at Guangzhou

Note: We will be updating this story with more information once our contacts in China are awake:China is using a domestic processor as the backbone for double the performance of the Tianhe-2 system, which topped the Top 500 starting in 2013 and running through late 2015 before being overshadowed by the Sunway system in recent years. Today at the Supercomputing Innovation Application Conference in Guangzhou, researchers announced a new generation of the “Tianhe” machine called “Tianhe Xingyi”.

The Bespoke Supercomputing Architecture That Stood Test of Time

Dec 4, 2023 | nextplatform.com | Nicole Hemsoth Prickett |Nicole Hemsoth

In the history of computing, there has been an endless push and pull between the need for general-purpose versus fine-tuned custom systems and software. While general purpose will, by nature, prevail on leadership-class HPC, the work done in meticulous world of ASIC design, system and software optimization filters into architectural thinking eventually. In the case of the present, ultra-specialization will likely come back around again for specific use cases in AI.

When we first talked to Voltron Data following their launch in early 2022, we had to take care to explain why Apache Arrow was worth paying attention to and why it might warrant the level of enterprise support the startup promised. Even more explanation was needed to justify the $110 million in funding to back an open source-driven company, especially around Apache Arrow, which lacked the status of Spark and similar platforms.
