  1. HPC TOP 5 STORIES Weekly Insights into the World of High Performance Computing

  2. HPC AND AI HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR GROUNDBREAKING DISCOVERIES IN SCIENCE, MEDICINE, AND OTHER FIELDS…

  3. PROVING THAT AI IS THE FUTURE OF SUPERCOMPUTING…

  4. TOP 5 HERE ARE THE “TOP FIVE’ STORIES HIGHLIGHTING WHAT’S HOT IN HPC AND AI

  5. TOP 5 1. Intel, AMD Just Delivered Two Great Reasons to Upgrade Your Data Center 2. New Supercomputer Brings Deep Learning Capabilities to CSIRO 3. NVIDIA Volta GPUs Power HPC & AI at ISC 2017 4. NVIDIA and Atlassian to Power Europe’s Largest AI Accelerator 5. New GPU Ready App Quick Start Guides: Abaqus Standard and MXNet

  6. 1 INTEL, AMD JUST DELIVERED TWO GREAT REASONS TO UPGRADE YOUR DATA CENTER Think of it as a multiple choice test, with no wrong answers. Intel last week launched its new Skylake Xeon CPUs. AMD last month launched their next-generation EPYC CPU. These are both great options that strengthen the case for upgrading your server infrastructure now. Whichever path you choose, the latest CPU improvements bring a boost to the value of accelerated computing. Fast CPUs let the work that should be done on serial processors get done quickly and not be limiting to the overall application performance. This allows your GPU to handle all the number crunching without being held up. BLOG

  7. 2 NEW SUPERCOMPUTER BRINGS DEEP LEARNING CAPABILITIES TO CSIRO Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) has deployed a Dell EMC supercomputer outfitted with NVIDIA’s P100 GPUs. The system, known as “Bracewell,” will nearly double the computational power available to CSIRO researchers. The new machine was built by Dell EMC for $4 million, and is comprised of 114 PowerEdge C4130 servers hooked together with EDR InfiniBand. Aggregate memory across the entire system is 29 TB. Each server is equipped with four NVIDA P100 GPUs and two Intel Xeon 14-core CPUs. The GPUs alone represent over 2.4 petaflops of peak performance. ARTICLE

  8. 3 NVIDIA VOLTA GPUS POWER HPC & AI AT ISC 2017 In this video from ISC 2017, Keith Morris from NVIDIA describes how the company’s next-generation Volta GPU technology will drive HPC and AI applications to new levels of performance. “AI is not defined by any one industry. It exists in fields of supercomputing, healthcare, financial services, big data analytics, and gaming. It is the future of every industry and market because every enterprise needs intelligence, and the engine of AI is the NVIDIA GPU computing platform. NVIDIA Volta is the new driving force behind artificial intelligence. Volta will fuel breakthroughs in every industry. Humanity’s moonshots like eradicating cancer, intelligent customer experiences, and self-driving vehicles are within reach of this next era of AI.” WATCH

  9. 4 NVIDIA AND ATLASSIAN TO POWER EUROPE’S LARGEST AI ACCELERATOR Europe-focused accelerator Rockstart has confirmed that graphics processing giant Nvidia, Atlassian and Volksbank, as well as Jheronimus Academy of Data Science, are among partners at its new accelerator. Last month, we reported that Rockstart was about to kick off an AI-focused accelerator in the Dutch city of Den Bosch, with generous supports for European start- ups. ‘AI is the greatest technology force in human history – it’s already impacting every industry and application’ – SERGE LEMONDE READ MORE

  10. 5 NEW GPU READY APP QUICK START GUIDES: ABAQUS STANDARD AND MXNET The NVIDIA GPU-Ready App Quick Start Guides helps you get up and running fast on GPUs with a simple set of instructions for a wide range of accelerated applications. We work directly with respective application developers to ensure that we deliver simple and optimized instructions. Abaqus/Standard runs up to 3.7X faster on NVIDIA GPU accelerated systems compared to CPU-only systems and MXNet is also accelerated by NVIDIA Pascal GPUs. GET STARTED
