In the span of four decades, quantum computation has evolved from an intellectual curiosity to a potentially realizable technology. Today, small-scale demonstrations have become possible for...

No matter how elegant and clever the design is for a compute engine, the difficulty and cost of moving existing – and sometimes very old – code from the
Generative AI and the various capacity and latency needs it has for compute and storage is muscling out almost every other topic when conversations turn
We think that waferscale computing is an interesting and even an inevitable concept for certain kinds of compute and memory. But inevitably, the work you
Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the “Venado” supercomputer, which was hinted at back in April 2021 when Nvidia announced its plans for its first
An exploration of the benefits that Fortran can bring to Data Science and Machine Learning
Back in the dawn of time, which is four decades ago in computer science and which was before technical computing went mainstream with the advent of Unix
Updated: There is some chatter – some might call it well-informed speculation – going on out there on the Intertubes that Japanese system maker NEC is
This thesis consists of two main projects and a third project which is provided in the appendix. The contribution of the first project, is a tool set for parallel random number gen- eration on GPUs…
As computing system become more complex, it is becoming harder for programmers to keep their codes optimized as the hardware gets updated. Autotuners try to alleviate this by hiding as many archite…
If a few cores are good, then a lot of cores ought to be better. But when it comes to HPC this isn’t always the case, despite what the Top500 ranking –
The world's largest chip scales to new heights.
Fujitsu Limited today announced that it began shipping the supercomputer Fugaku, which is jointly developed with RIKEN and promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology with the aim of starting general operation between 2021 and 2022. The first machine to be shipped this time is one of the computer units of Fugaku, a supercomputer system comprised of over 150,000 high-performance CPUs connected together. Fujitsu will continue to deliver the units to RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Kobe, Japan, for installation and tuning.
