Just because Nvidia, AMD, and Intel are pumping money into Ayar Labs does not mean they are going to use its TeraPHY transport and SuperNova laser for silicon photonics interconnects. But they might. nextplatform.com/2024/12/11/…

Oct 26, 2021: @NicoleHemsoth/@TheNextPlatform break the story that China apparently has achieved 1 EXAFLOPS on two systems, but won't be submitting to @top500supercomp for political reasons nitter.cf/NicoleHemsoth/status/1… #supercomputing #HPC
The #HPC benchmark for Top 500 was run on two Chinese supercomputers in March. One reached 1.3 exaflops (peak-1.05 sustained) as did the other. The results will not be reported publicly but we were able to confirm tests and provide architecture conjecture nextplatform.com/2021/10/26/…

We need nuclear fusion for power more than we need nuclear fission and fusion for war. And that is why NERSC should have the biggest supercomputers in the United States. nextplatform.com/2024/10/08/…

AI systems need lots of HBM memory and flash, and that means Micron has a chance to substantially grow revenues and maybe even profits in the coming years. Ah, but will it? $MU $NVDA $AMD $INTC nextplatform.com/2024/06/27/…

"Catching up to and keeping pace with [the competition] in server GPUs is another thing entirely – and AMD has definitely done that and will be keeping pace for years to come." - @TheNextPlatform

Nvidia has mapped out its GPUs, CPUs, NICs, DPUs, and switches for the next four years. It looks like a two-year cadence for GPUs, CPUs, switches, and NICs with a mid-cycle memory bump for GPUs and a radix bump for switches. $NVDA nextplatform.com/2024/06/02/…

If you want to simulate billions or trillions of atoms, an exascale supercomputer is great. But if you want to see further into the future in a simulation of nearly a million atoms, maybe a waferscale compute engine is better. nextplatform.com/2024/05/15/…

Meta’s Llama 3 model gets good grades on various benchmark tests, but the company is not interested in wrapping up a commercial version and selling support for it. Who is going to make money from this? Odds are, Big Purple – the combination of Big Blue and its Red Hat. $META $IBM nextplatform.com/2024/04/22/…

It might not be a dinner plate of silicon like Cerebras's WSE-3, but Nvidia's GB200 Superchip certainly ain't small. #Nvidia #GTC24
