Description
The HPC User Forum was established in 1999 to promote the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users. In April 2025, the 88th HPC User Forum took place in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This update summarizes a presentation from that conference given by Gianluca Longoni Ph.D., P.E., Executive Technical Director for AI and HPC at FedData Technology Solutions. Dr. Longoni discussed his exploratory benchmarking of the Intel Gaudi3 accelerator for inference applications. In his research, he assessed multiple success indicators and compared the Gaudi3 accelerator with its predecessors as well as other comparable hardware available on the market today.
