@HPCpodcast-106: TOP500 at SC25 Conference

/

SC25 showed continued strength of the HPC community with about 16,500 attendees, 560 exhibitors, and the usual fastest network, SCinet, this time with a pack bandwith of 13.7 TBytes/s. And as usual, the latest edition of the TOP500 list was released on Monday. Not a lot of changes in the TOP10 this time, but several noteworthy developments, including the first officially rated exaflop system in Europe at the Julich Supercomputer Center.

Join Shahin and Doug as they analyze and discuss the new TOP500 list. They go over HPL, HPL-MxP, HPCG, Green500, geographical distribution, vendor distribution, and other observations.

@HPCpodcast-105: Dan Nystedt on Chips, China, AI Tech

/

If you’ve been following Dan Nystedt on social media, you are familiar with his insightful commentary and his unique perspective. Dan is vice president of research at Tri-Orient Investments, a private institutional investor that has been active in Asian markets since 2010. A former journalist, fluent in Chinese, based in Taiwan, and deeply familiar with the tech scene in one of the most vibrant technology centers in the world, Dan is a source of important market and technology signals. We caught up with him last week to discuss the Asian tech scene: geopolitical tensions and Taiwan’s role, rivalries in chip manufacturing and AI, complexities of the global tech supply chain, and China’s rare earth dominance and geopolitical impact. Join us!

@HPCpodcast-101: Live from Nvidia GTC25

/

In what is becoming an annual tradition, we are “Live from Nvidia GTC25” AI-everywhere show. We cover everything from industry landscape to Hopper to Blackwell to Rubin and Feynman, plus silicon photonics for cluster interconnect fabric (star of the show, really), the complexity of inference for customers, low-end systems, power and cooling (did we hear 600 KW per rack?), software including cluster-level AI-workload-focused open-sourced Dynamo “OS”, and storage (the semantic kind).
