Hyperscalers Google, Amazon, and Meta have developed barebones servers by stripping down parts, but you cannot buy them off the shelf. Startup Oxide took on that idea and started shipping a mega-server with custom motherboards stripped of unnecessary parts, wires, and components typically found in off-the-rack servers. The company’s secretive hardware-software co-design plan has developed […]
Kevin Yager—leader of the electronic nanomaterials group at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory—has imagined how recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) could aid scientific brainstorming and ideation. To accomplish this, he has developed a chatbot with knowledge in […]
According to a recent report by NOAA, the US has confirmed a total of 23 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in 2023 alone—the most events on record during a calendar year. Since 1980, the overall total cost of these billion-dollar weather disasters (including CPI adjustments to 2023) is $2.615 trillion. These numbers tell only part of the story […]
For decades, scientists have probed how human DNA that would stretch more than 2 meters if unspooled from a cell is packed into chromosomes millions of times smaller. A single-cell 3D simulation of chromatin, the structures that make up the chromosome. The beads represent monomers, a segment of the genome, linked to form a polymer. […]
Businesses have embraced the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and most plan to rapidly expand its use going forward. However, one major inhibitor and source of problems is that many AI efforts require compute infrastructures that make use of enormous numbers of GPUs. The problem is that such infrastructures are difficult to design and build. […]
QuEra Computing, a leader in neutral-atom quantum computers, today announced a significant breakthrough published in the scientific journal Nature. In experiments led by Harvard University in close collaboration with QuEra Computing, MIT, and NIST/UMD, researchers successfully executed large-scale algorithms on an error-corrected quantum computer with 48 logical qubits and hundreds of entangling logical operations. The […]
A future quantum network may become less of a stretch thanks to researchers at the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory and Cambridge University. Breakthrough by UChicago, Argonne researchers could help pave way for quantum infrastructure. Illustration by Peter Allen. A team of researchers announced a breakthrough in quantum network engineering: By “stretching” thin films […]
High-performance computing (HPC) has played a major role in advancing scientific research for decades using extremely large datasets and sophisticated modeling that mimics the physical world. Rapidly advancing is the ability to complement the power and capabilities of HPC with artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate innovations and deliver faster outcomes. The post Accelerating Science with […]
World-class computing technologies allow researchers to employ a powerful tool to complement experimental and observation facilities. A multi-institutional group of astrophysicists has turned to the power of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre’s flagship system to simulate in unprecedented detail a large part of our celestial neighborhood, with a specific focus on the so-called Coma cluster. The […]
“What’s the size of the AI market?” It’s a totally normal question for anyone to ask me. After all, I’m an analyst, and my company, Intersect360 Research, specializes in scalable, high-performance datacenter segments, such as AI, HPC, and Hyperscale. And yet, a simple answer eludes me, and I wind up answering a question with a […]
