This is a great time to review what we learned at some of the key conferences that were held towards the end of last year. Adrian Cockcroft joins Shahin Khan and Doug Black to discuss SC24, RISC-V Summit, and AWS Reinvent. Topics include: HPC and AI Clouds, CXL, Liquid Cooling, Optical Interconnects, Optical Computing, Novel CPUs and GPUs, the state of RISC-V in servers and supercomputers, TOP500, Chiplets, AWS CPU and GPU strategies. We recorded this episode just before the always-good Q2B conference on quantum technologies, which is mentioned here and will be covered in a future episode.

Special guest Ryan Smith joins Shahin and Doug to discuss the vexing challenges of implementing HPC class AI systems in a managed services model, the landmines organizations need to avoid, and the opportunities for seizing success. A 25 year veteran of the technology industry, Ryan is Director of Managed Services at Penguin Solutions. He was previously a Director of Solution Services at Stratus, the continuous availability (fault-tolerant) systems company.

This episode is part of the @HPCpodcasts Industry View feature, which takes on major issues in the world of HPC, AI, and other advanced technologies through the lens of industry leaders.

SC24 is off to a great start with over 17,000 attendees, 480 exhibitors from 29 countries, and new TOP500 list that features a new champion! “The new El Capitan system at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, U.S.A., has debuted as the most powerful system on the list with an HPL score of 1.742 EFlop/s. It has 11,039,616 combined CPU and GPU cores and is based on AMD 4th generation EPYC processors with 24 cores at 1.8GHz and AMD Instinct MI300A accelerators. El Capitan relies on a Cray Slingshot 11 network for data transfer and achieves an energy efficiency of 58.89 Gigaflops/watt. This power efficiency rating helped El Capitan achieve No. 18 on the GREEN500 list as well.”

Join Shahin and Doug as they analyze and discuss the new list. As usual, they go over notable additions, performance efficiency, power efficiency in the Green500 list, the difficult HPCG benchmark that usually sets the lower bound of system performance.
