Where We Are: On June 3, Intersect360 Research released our most recent market numbers for the HPC market. At the top level, things look great. We found a 24.1% growth […] Source: HPC Finally Found Its Killer App – Can It Survive? | HPCwire

Over the years, electronic chip manufacturers have been building more powerful chips to meet the demands of modern electronic devices. However, the explosive rise of AI has placed immense pressure on computing technology, demanding faster and more efficient processors to keep up. The post New Breakthroughs Bring Photonic Chips Closer to Reality appeared first on […]

The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a powerhouse for computing in science research, enabling the work of nearly 11,000 scientists every year. Research powered by NERSC systems is helping transform our understanding of everything from fundamental physics to deadly viruses and paving the way for artificial intelligence […]

Looking to brush up on the basics of quantum computing? The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has posted a mini primer that explains many aspects of quantum information science in layman terms. The post What is Quantum Anyway? Check Out NIST Primer appeared first on HPCwire.

A significant advance in the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms could accelerate fusion energy research. Previous research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has shown how physicists can utilize machine learning techniques to conduct their research, such as tracking plasma turbulence during fusion experiments. The post Berkeley Lab Boosts Fusion Research Using ML […]

Large language models (LLMs) often require substantial computing resources that are usually met by high-performance hardware. These systems are built to handle vast amounts of data and execute the intricate calculations that power these models. The post Research Suggests Powerful AI Models Now Possible Without High-End Hardware appeared first on HPCwire.

Over the next two years, the number of liquid-cooled data centers is projected to grow from less than 1 percent of the market to about 30 percent of all installations. The reason behind such spectacular growth is clear – the power of the processors is growing rapidly every 6 months, and so is the power […]

Using accelerators in HPC has pushed performance to new levels. Starting with early GPUs, the ability to take advantage of the parallel processing hardware (in the form of SIMD processing) has been a huge boon for HPC performance. As a result, the HPC market has been a big driver for GPU designs, including features like […]

A recent collaboration involving Merck, Amgen, Deloitte, and QuEra Computing has explored a novel approach—quantum reservoir computing (QRC)—to better handle these small-data scenarios for molecular property prediction. The success of this project not only illuminates the potential of QRC in drug discovery but also suggests broader applications in time-series analysis, missing-data imputation, and biomarker detection. […]

There’s a race around the world to build the next Silicon Valley, but for quantum computing. Quantum advocates see riches, influence, and maybe redemption for sites like south Chicago. The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park is being built on the site of US Steel’s South Works, which closed in 1992. The post Chicago’s Bet on […]
