HPC Analysts: Hadoop is a Tall Tree in a Broad Forest

This week, Datnami is in the very interesting city of Leipzig, Germany as we attend the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC’13) to cover the big data trends at the high performance level. It’s only been a day, but one of the messages from the show floor that has been resonating is that big data is bigger than many people think it is - namely, it’s bigger than just Hadoop. Read more…

The GPU “Sweet Spot” for Big Data

GPUs have stirred some vicious waves in the supercomputing community, and these same performance boosts are being explored for large-scale data mining by a number of enterprise users. During our conversation with NVIDIA's Tesla senior manager for high performance computing, Sumit Gupta, we explored how traditional data... Read more…

Midwest Growing Hub for HPC, Big Data

From the outside, it might seem like most technology innovation filters through Silicon Valley and other large tech hubs on America's east coast. As Gary Stiehr argues, midwest centers like St. Louis are growing big data and high performance computing hot spots with startup activity that... Read more…

Fujitsu Says Big Data Pushing HPC into Mainstream

According to many in the HPC community, especially on the hardware side, the big data trend (and all the buzz associated with it) is creating new opportunities for the once “high and mighty” world of supercomputing. This is a field that.... Read more…

Data Exchange Pushes Insourcing

Looking to buck the status quo of moving manufacturing jobs off Western soil, a new initiative calls on supercomputing and big data to drive manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. via the orchestration of a few key efforts on the part of.... Read more…

Supercomputing Center Set to Become Big Data Hub

This week one of the United States' largest HPC and scientific visualization centers announced a $10 million commitment from the O’Donnell Foundation to enhance their data-intensive science capabilities. We check in with TACC head, Dr. Jay Boisseau to find out what new HPC, big data purchases are in their future and how.... Read more…
