Rethink your data center strategy with hybrid HPC

Organizations are adopting high-performance computing to process massive data sets. A hybrid HPC environment lets them meet those demands with the agility, performance, and security you need. The growing enterprise need to crunch massive data sets—from R&D and business operations to customer interactions and strategic objectives—has created an increasing demand for high-performance computing (HPC). In fact, Market Research Future in 2018 reported that it expects the HPC market to dramatically expand, rising from $31 billion in 2017 to $50 billion in 2023. That's a tremendous shift in the need for high-performance computing technologies.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Businesses

Article | June 28, 2024

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives. AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results. The technology has helped to streamline even the most mundane of tasks whilst having a breath-taking impact on a company’s efficiency and productivity

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | March 19, 2024

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Oracle Ups OCI Ante with Preview of HPC Cloud Instances

eWeek | November 12, 2018

Oracle recently wrapped up its OpenWorld conference in San Francisco, where it announced several updates to its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). But Oracle was not done there with new features to lure enterprises to its cloud. This week at the SC18 supercomputing conference in Dallas, Oracle is introducing new high-performance computing (HPC) instances for OCI. The new Clustered Network instances consist of bare metal servers running an RDMA (remote direct memory access) network on top of the OCI infrastructure, said Karan Batta, Senior Principal Product Manager, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, in an interview. RDMA is faster and more secure, Batta said, because it forms a direct link between nodes on a network without going through the operating system, leading to improved performance. The initial clustered network instances are for edge use cases and consist of 36 cores of Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.7 GHz. They come with 6.4 TB local NVMe flash storage and 384 GB memory, connected by 100 Gb/s RDMA networking. The price is for 7.5 cents per core per hour. Oracle has plans to add more instance configurations including GPU nodes for training AI models over the coming months.
