Length: 4 pages
The growing proliferation of GPUs and related HPDA and HPC-based AI workloads is challenging the HPC storage architectures of conventional CPU-based designs and traditional HPC modeling/simulation workloads. Conventional HPC storage systems manage the well-understood needs of largely independent and segregated home directories and scratch files, keeping the system fully utilized for optimal performance. However, data-intensive HPDA and AI workloads, with much greater variety of heterogenous I/O profiles, are stressing the performance capabilities of the conventional storage systems and related architectures.

Cloud-based Quantum Computing: A Growing Assortment of Opportunities for QC Application Developers
Bob Sorensen, Steve Conway, Alex Norton and Earl Joseph
This Quick Take looks at the growing availability of commercial cloud-based quantum computing (QC), supported through either direct access to true QC systems or QC simulators based on traditional digital hardware. In addition to QC hardware, most cloud-based QC providers are also rolling out their own software development environments to help existing and new QC software developers more effectively explore QC programming. The choice of options for potential QC users is growing, and each of the QC providers offers a distinct take on QC architecture and programming.
