Erich highlighting new entries in the Bottom490. The first MI300 GPUs are starting to appear, including the LLNL El Capitan early access system. The next Top500 will be an interesting one. Good for AMD on keeping NVIDIA on its toes. #ISC24 [image]

Top500: the Intel-powered Aurora supercomputer, not yet fully operational, came second behind the AMD-powered Frontier, but did take first in an AI benchmark

Aurora faces stability issues from hardware failures, cooling malfunctions, and operational errors.

Rick is saying a lot of the quiet part out loud here. Non-Top500 HPL scale runs were run at much smaller scale since ALCF's focus was on breaking the 1 EF barrier HPL-MxP was 90% of the system Intel has “bad” product names 😬 #ISC24 [image]

Wonder why Microsoft isn't listed in performance share but integrators like Lenovo/Penguin are.

Congrats to CoreWeave for raising $1.1bn in their series C. Also, “Sequoia Capital estimated in March that around $50 billion had been spent on Nvidia's chips during the AI boom, but generative AI startups only gathered $3 billion in revenue.” 😬 https://www.wsj.com/...

New Jersey-based CoreWeave, which offers GPUs in the cloud, raised $1.1B led by Coatue at a $19B valuation, up from $7B after raising $642M in December 2023

Academia is losing its ability to make progress in AI due to competition with industry investment. 1. Is this a problem any more than others areas of R&D with commercial relevance? 2. Are salary and GPUs really the only reason? https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

After reading the Ultra Ethernet whitepaper ( https://ultraethernet.org/...), it's clear that the goal is to put RoCE in the ground and solve network challenges specifically for AI workloads (e.g., broadcast/incast-heavy). Subtext: break the NVIDIA-Mellanox hegemony.

Wow, that's a lot of GPUs (and a lot of HBM!) There were days I wasn't sure if Aurora would ever reach this point, so this is a huge milestone. The Nov Top500 statement though—I hope this isn't just hubris, and the system really is ready to scale in just a few months. https://twitter.com/...

Argonne and Intel say they installed the Aurora supercomputer, announced in 2015, which will come online later in 2023 with 2 FP64 ExaFLOPS of processing power

Geez Louise. This makes fiscal sense for Intel, but it's going to further shake up the NAND market. And how much appetite will Intel have to keep XPoint if it's their only solid-state memory business? https://twitter.com/...

That went from rumor to public real fast. Congrats to Hynix and Intel both; I think both will be better off for this. And congrats to the NAND market analysts who will have a field day writing up how this will shake up the NAND commodity market. https://twitter.com/...
