insideHPC Guide to HPC Fusion Computing Model – A Reference Architecture for Liberating Data
This insideHPC technology guide discusses how organizations need to adopt a Fusion Computing Model to meet the needs of processing, analyzing, and storing the data to no longer be static. This guide (i) provides an overview of the Fusion Computing Model; (ii) describes how Seagate Technology PLC (Seagate) and Intel Corporation technologies can meet fusion […]
NVIDIA InfiniBand Adaptive Routing Technology
In this white paper, we’ll look at how adaptive routing from NVIDIA plays such an important role, eliminating congestion and increasing data center performance. InfiniBand adaptive routing technology reroutes data to eliminate congestion, and therefore, increases data center performance. As presented, both HPC applications and AI applications utilizing adaptive routing achieve higher performance. Adaptive routing is an important network element that drives your HPC systems toward new levels of utilization that increase return on investment.
Energy efficiency drives HPC to the cloud
The high-performance computing (HPC) market is witnessing a notable shift towards the cloud, partially driven by the benefits of enhanced energy efficiency. According to Hyperion Research nearly every organization running HPC workloads is either already using or investigating the cloud to accelerate application performance, with the cloud market for HPC workloads forecast to reach $11.5 […]
