Propelled by a vision of HPC-cloud and HPC-enterprise convergence, Cray’s Shasta architecture will underpin America’s first three exascale supercomputers, including the just announced 1.5-exaflops El Capitan system headed for DOE NNSA’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2022.
This Quick Take looks at Amazon's recent announcement of a new EC2 Bare Metal offering that provides users with direct, non-virtualized access to a processor, memory, storage and related networking instance. Amazon uses custom hardware in an effort to wring out the highest possible performance from the basic hardware set up while still offering a full complement of cloud-based software support. This development is a positive one for HPC users looking to migrate workloads to public clouds as Amazon is addressing one of the most vexinghurdles of HPC in the cloud: the performance overhead of running applicationsin a virtualized, performance limiting environment.
