IBM’s Red Hat Acquisition Will Pay For Itself By Early Next Year
Oct 24, 2024 · When the Red Hat acquisition was completed, the Red Hat systems software stack represented around 9.2 percent of 2019 overall “real” systems revenue at IBM, which is our estimate of sales of hardware, systems software, tech support, and financing relating to its System z and Power Systems lines.
LRZ Adopts Nvidia Engines For €250 Million “Blue Lion” …
Dec 16, 2024 · The expansion of the computing capacity in Europe for both traditional HPC simulation as well as AI training and modeling continues apace, with the Leibniz-Rechenzentrum lab in Germany announcing late last week (when we took a day of holiday) that it would be shelling out €250 million – about $262.7 million at current exchange rates – to build a hybrid CPU-GPU cluster based on Nvidia ...
We Can’t Get Enough HBM, Or Stack It Up High Enough
Nov 6, 2024 · When all is said and done, HBM4 is expected to offer more than 1.4X the bandwidth, 1.3X the capacity per memory chip, 1.3X the capacity from a higher stack (sixteen versus twelve, not shown in the chart below because it is probably going to be saved for HBM4E unless Nvidia and AMD can talk SK Hynix out of it and the yields are good enough to not lose a fortune using the cutting edge denser and ...
Sandia To Push Both HPC And AI With Cerebras “Kingfisher” Cluster
Nov 14, 2024 · The cost of the Kingfisher system was not announced, but we know that at list price – whatever that is in the HPC space – a CS-2 system with a single WSE-2 cost about $1.6 million last year when G42 started working with Cerebras to build out a fleet of “Condor Galaxy” clusters based on the CS-2 machines.

“El Capitan” Supercomputer Blazes The Trail for Converged CPU …
Nov 18, 2024 · And thanks to the “Rosetta” Slingshot 11 interconnect designed by Cray and a core component of the EX line of systems sold by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, El Capitan already employs an HPC-enhanced, scalable Ethernet along the lines of what the Ultra Ethernet Consortium is trying to advance as the hyperscalers and cloud builders tire of paying a premium for InfiniBand networks for their AI ...
Nvidia Unfolds GPU, Interconnect Roadmaps Out To 2027 - The …
Jun 2, 2024 · Nvidia will also kick out a higher radix Spectrum-X800 Ethernet switch in 2025, perhaps with six ASICs in the box to create a non-blocking architecture as has been commonly done with other switches to double up the aggregate bandwidth and therefore doubling up either the bandwidth per port or the number of ports in a switch.. In 2026, we see the “Rubin” R100 GPU, which was formerly called ...
Google Covers Its Compute Engine Bases Because It Has To
Oct 31, 2024 · The minute that search engine giant Google wanted to be a cloud, and the several years later that Google realized that companies were not ready to buy full-on platform services that masked the underlying hardware but wanted lower level infrastructure services that gave them more optionality as well as more responsibility, it was inevitable that Google Cloud would have to buy compute engines ...
Microsoft Stargate: The Next AI Platform Will Be An Entire Cloud …
Apr 1, 2024 · The question is this: Will Microsoft keep investing vast sums in OpenAI so it can turn around and rent this capacity, or will it just stop screwing around and spend $100 billion on OpenAI (the company had a valuation of $80 billion two months ago) and another $110 billion or so more on infrastructure to have complete control of its AI stack.
Cerebras Trains Llama Models To Leap Over GPUs
Oct 25, 2024 · At the moment, based on Llama 3.2 70B benchmarks done by Artificial Analysis and public data for pricing on GPU instances on the public cloud, on specialized GPU clouds that often push performance higher, and on non-GPU systems from rivals Groq and SambaNova Systems, it sure looks like Cerebras is winning in the AI inference race.
