Everybody wants to get rich in AI these days, and if you can’t do it by investing in the compute engine makers or the hyperscalers and cloud builders, then the next best thing to put your money into is probably some form of optical I/O. …
We did not think that today we would be writing about Pat Gelsinger “retiring” from the company that he loves best and most. …
If you want to buy an exascale-class supercomputer, or a portion of one so you can scale up, there are not a lot of places to go shopping because there are not a lot of companies who have a balance sheet that is big enough to get all of the parts to build the machines. …
There has been a lot more churn on the November Top500 supercomputer rankings that is the talk of the SC24 conference in Atlanta this week than there was in the list that came out in June at the ISC24 conference in Hamburg, Germany back in May, and there are some interesting developments in the new machinery that is being installed. …
Anyone who thinks that Intel is easy to kill need look no further than the historical trends of the Mercury Research market share statistics that we see each quarter. …

One of the oldest ideas in humanity – and one that may have predated language as we know it – is that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. …
If you are looking to upgrade your X86 server fleet – and there is lots of chatter about how many enterprises as well as hyperscalers and cloud builders are in the financial mood to do that – then the good news is that both Intel and AMD have now rolled out the best serial compute engines they have ever fielded. …
Intel recently demonstrated a new type of DIMM memory technology called Multiplexer Combined Rank (MCR), also referred to as MRDIMMs, that provides up to 2.3X better performance for HPC workloads and up to a 2X better on AI inference workloads in comparison to 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, based on internal Intel analysis. …
Like many a decade ago, we were enthusiastic about the prospect of triple-hybrid systems in the datacenter. …
