In this special guest feature, Janet Morss at Dell Technologies writes that the company will soon deploy a new flagship supercomputer at SDSC. “Expanse will deliver the power of 728 dual-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge C6525 servers with 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processors connected with Mellanox HDR InfiniBand. The system will have 93,000 compute cores and is projected to have a peak speed of 5 petaflops. That will almost double the performance of SDSC’s current Comet supercomputer, also from Dell Technologies.”

In this video, Oded Green from NVIDIA unboxes a DGX-1 supercomputer at the College of Computing Data Center at Georgia Tech. “And while the DGX-1 arriving at Georgia Tech for student-use is exciting enough, there is cause for more celebration as a DGX Station also arrived this year as part of a new NVIDIA Artificial Intelligence Lab (NVAIL) grant awarded to CSE. The NVAIL grant focuses on developing multi-GPU graph analytics and the DGX station is constructed specifically for data science and artificial intelligence development.”

April 1, 2019 by
In this video from GTC 2019 in San Jose, Harvey Skinner, Distinguished Technologist, discusses the advent of production AI and how the HPE AI Data Node offers a building block for AI storage. “The HPE AI Data Node is a HPE reference configuration which offers a storage solution that provides both the capacity for data, as well as a performance tier that meets the throughput requirements of GPU servers. The HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 density optimized data server provides the hardware platform for the WekaIO Matrix flash-optimized parallel file system, as well as the Scality RING object store.”
