6. HPC EXASCALE AND AI WEBINAR
HPC is a fundamental pillar of modern science. From
predicting weather to discovering drugs to finding new
energy sources, researchers use large computing systems
to simulate and predict our world. AI extends traditional
HPC by letting researchers analyze massive amounts of
data faster and more effectively.

FASTEST COMPUTER

OAK RIDGE - Oak Ridge National Laboratory is building
what could be the fastest computer in the world.
It's called Summit, and it will help scientists from
around the world research new technology. It takes up a
room that's as big as nearly two basketball courts.
Scientists are lining up to work at the lab, which
provides the best tools for studying.
"We model things from the smallest nanoparticles all
the way up to the entire universe," said Buddy Bland,
project director at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computer
Facility.

ARTICLE
Professor Satoshi Matsuoka, of the Tokyo Institute
of Technology (Tokyo Tech) researches and designs
large scale supercomputers and similar
infrastructures. More recently, he has worked on
the convergence of Big Data, machine/deep
learning, and AI with traditional HPC, as well as
investigating the Post-Moore Technologies towards
2025.
He has designed supercomputers for years and has
collaborated on projects involving basic elements
for the current and more importantly future
Exascale systems.

9. HOT CHIPS 2017: A CLOSER LOOK AT NVIDIA’S VOLTA
Hot Chips is a yearly conference where the best and
the brightest of the semiconductor industry provide
deep-dive details on the latest cutting-edge
processors. This year featured a diverse range of
topics that mirror the latest industry trends.
Naturally, that means a huge dose of AI. Presentations
from Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft, among many
others, outlined the latest developments.
Nvidia was on hand to present some of the finer
microarchitectural details off its new Volta GV100
SMs. We'll get to the presentation shortly, but we also
had a meeting with Rob Ober, Tesla Chief Platform
Architect at Nvidia, for a closer look at the GV100.

10. IBM & NVIDIA PRESENT THE NVLINK SERVER YOU’VE
BEEN WAITING FOR
5
IBM partnered with NVIDIA to embed a high-speed
connection, NVLink, between the IBM POWER8 CPU
and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU accelerator, has
reached its first major milestone.
Today IBM is announcing the IBM Power Systems
S822LC for High Performance Computing, which
couples two high-performance POWER8 with NVLink
CPUs with four NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU accelerators
connected using the NVIDIA NVLink high-speed
interface. This custom-built GPU accelerator
server, where the NVLink interface is routed on the
motherboard, uses the novel NVIDIA Tesla P100
SXM2 form-factor GPU accelerator.
