This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 10nm Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (formerly codenamed “Ice Lake-SP” or “Ice Lake Scalable Processor”). These processors replace the previous 14nm “Cascade Lake-SP” microarchitecture and are available for…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 7nm AMD EPYC processor (codenamed “Milan” and based on AMD’s Zen3 architecture). EPYC “Milan” processors replace the previous “Rome” processors and are available for sale as of March…
When NVIDIA launched the Ampere GPU architecture, they also launched their new flagship system for HPC and deep learning – the DGX 100. This system offers exceptional performance, but also new capabilities. We’ve seen immediate interest and…
This article provides details on the NVIDIA A-series GPUs (codenamed “Ampere”). “Ampere” GPUs improve upon the previous-generation “Volta” and “Turing” architectures. Ampere A100 GPUs began shipping in May 2020 (with other variants shipping by end of 2020).…
As one of NVIDIA’s Elite partners, we see a lot of GPU deployments in higher education. GPUs have been proving themselves in HPC for over a decade, and they are the de-facto standard for deep learning research.…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 7nm AMD EPYC processor (codenamed “Rome” and based on AMD’s Zen2 architecture). EPYC “Rome” processors replace the previous “Naples” processors and are available for sale as of August…
With the launch of the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors (previously code-named “Cascade Lake SP”), a new standard is set for high performance computing hardware. These latest Xeon CPUs bring increased core counts, faster memory, and faster…
This article provides in-depth discussion and analysis of the 14nm Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (formerly codenamed “Cascade Lake-SP” or “Cascade Lake Scalable Processor”). “Cascade Lake-SP” processors replace the previous 14nm “Skylake-SP” microarchitecture and are available for…
Professional NVIDIA GPUs (the Tesla and Quadro products) are equipped with error-correcting code (ECC) memory, which allows the system to detect when memory errors occur. Smaller “single-bit” errors are transparently corrected. Larger “double-bit” memory errors will cause…
Compute-intensive applications typically require as much system memory bandwidth as can be provided. For this reason, it is very important that system memory be correctly configured and installed. Microway reviews all systems to ensure proper performance (both…
