Sandia Deploys SpiNNaker2 Neuromorphic System

1 week ago | nextplatform.com | Jeffrey Burt

Some heavy hitters like Intel, IBM, and Google along with a growing number of smaller startups for the past couple of decades have been pushing the development of neuromorphic computing, hardware that looks to mimic the structure and function of the human brain.
It’s Been Three Years, So It’s Time For Another PCI-Express Speed Bump

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Jeffrey Burt

PCI-SIG, the organization that oversees the roadmap for the critical PCI-Express peripheral attachment specification, is continuing to keep to its three-year drumbeat for releasing the next iteration of the interconnect spec and already has its sights on the one after that, expected to be released in 2028 and appear in devices in 2030 or so.
Cisco’s Hyperscale And Cloud AI Push Will Give It Enterprise Clout

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Jeffrey Burt

Much of the business that Cisco Systems and others have been doing in the AI infrastructure field since OpenAI lit the generative AI fuse with ChatGPT in November 2022 has been deploying hardware and software with the hyperscalers, a lucrative business that led company executives to promise to sell as much as $1 billion in back-end network technology by the end of its fiscal year and then to blow past that a quarter early.
AMD Plots Interception Course With Nvidia GPU And System Roadmaps

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

To a certain extent, Nvidia and AMD are not really selling GPU compute capacity as much as they are reselling just enough HBM memory capacity and bandwidth to barely balance out the HBM memory they can get their hands on, thereby justifying the ever-embiggening amount of compute their GPU complexes get overstuffed with.
Peeling The Covers Off Germany’s Exascale “Jupiter” Supercomputer

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

The newest of the exascale-class supercomputer to be profiled in the Top500 rankings in the June list is the long-awaited “Jupiter” system at Forschungszentrum Jülich facility in Germany. We finally have a sense of how this hybrid CPU-GPU machine will perform, although some of the details on its configuration are still not nailed down publicly.
Top500 Supers: Even Accelerators Can’t Bend Performance Up To The Moore’s Law Line

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

The International Super Computing 2025 conference is going on this week in Hamburg, Germany and is celebrating its 40th anniversary. It is also the 65th compilation of the Top 500 supercomputer rankings, which was started way back in 1993, which certifies the peak theoretical performance and sustained performance of each machine ranked on the High Performance Linpack (HPL) parallel processing benchmark test.
Broadcom At The Crossroads Between Merchant And Custom Silicon

2 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

After three relatively short years of explosive growth thanks to the GenAI boom, AI is driving half of systems revenues worldwide already. And so it stands to reason that the custom ASIC design business and the AI-related networking businesses will eventually come to dominate the semiconductor businesses of Broadcom.
Dell’s Advice To Enterprises: Buy AI, Don’t Try To Build It

3 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Jeffrey Burt

Unsurprisingly, the main topic of conversation at the recent Dell Technologies World 2025 event in Las Vegas was AI, and a central theme that wove through many of the messages we heard there was that adopting the emerging technology is much easier now than it was even a year ago.
AWS Plunks Down $10 Billion For Datacenters In North Carolina

3 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

When you drive around the major metropolitan areas of this great country of ours, and indeed in any most of the developed countries at this point, you see two things. One is giant warehouses the size of airplane hangars with zillions of loading bays evenly spaced along the outside. These are the massive distribution centers that encapsulate the transactions of the lion’s share of our economy.
HPE Uses AI To Drive The Business, Which Is Increasingly AI

3 weeks ago | nextplatform.com | Timothy Prickett Morgan

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is going through yet another restructuring to reduce costs, something we have seen a lot of in the past two decades and a half decades since it acquired Compaq to become a volume server peddler as well as high end system supplier for enterprises. But this time is a little bit different in that HPE is, like other OEMs and indeed other companies in all industries, trying to figure out how to deploy AI to have better engagement with customers and lower costs.
