High Performance Computing

Other Nvidia announcements at SC19 include a GPU-accelerated Arm server design and software that makes GPU clusters faster.

Last month, quantum computing achieved a controversial milestone, but it's unclear whether Google's quantum supremacy is a meaningful milestone in the quest to build a useful quantum computer.

In theory, quantum computers could one day lead to substantial advances in materials science, AI, medicine, finance, communications and more. In all likelihood, no one has thought up the best uses for them yet.

Nvidia enlists colo providers around the world to house (and cool) its customers’ supercomputers.

The company says a single TPU v3 Pod is as powerful as the world’s fourth-fastest HPC system.

Ability to cool high-density GPU clusters for machine learning is a new battleground for colo providers.

The modular 3MW facility will use free air cooling and is expected to run at PUE 1.1. It will serve a single project, which aims to find out what happened after the Big Bang.
