Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL):Although not specifically designed for AI, ML or DL tasks, GPUs power many leading AI applications—such as IBM’s cloud-native AI supercomputer Vela—that require high-speed parallelism to process large data sets for t...
HPC luminary Jack Dongarra outlined a new benchmark, HPL-AI, to estimate the performance of supercomputers on mixed-precision calculations. When NVIDIA ran HPL-AI computations in a test run on Summit, the fastest supercomputer in the world, the system achieved unprecedentedperformance levels ...
rapidly moving progress has prompted a scalable shift in the race toward creating the most capable supercomputer. Today, the world’s most powerful supercomputer resides in Tennessee at the Oak Ridge National Lab.Tomorrow could be a completely different story. ...
As a postdoc, he worked on numerical method development and analysis for seismic wave propagation with topography and implementing GPU stencil kernels targeting the OLCF Summit supercomputer. Some of Ossian's technical interests include high order numerical methods for partial differential equations, ...
In 2012, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (Leibniz-Rechenzentrum, or LRZ) in Munich, Germany presented high-performance computing (HPC) manufacturers a difficult challenge: build a supercomputer that consumes a dramatically lower amount of electricity without sacrificing computing power. The System x ...
2008 marked the first year a supercomputer was able to break what was called “the petaFLOPS barrier.” The IBM Roadrunner shocked the world with an astounding Rpeak of 1.105 petaFLOPS. At the time, the head of computer science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory claimed, “The new capability al...
