It's an old joke that the cloud is "just someone else's server", and while that's a fun simplification, the reality is that AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle, and the rest really do run physical server hardware in physical data centres. If you've ever managed your own server hardware you might be curious what one of the public cloud servers looks like. Thanks to AMD, iTWire got to see.

GPU maker Nvidia has introduced a reference design platform to make it easier for companies to build GPU-accelerated Arm-based servers.

The Director of Research Computing at the University of Queensland, Professor David Abramson, has been awarded the Pearcey medal for 2019 by the Pearcey Foundation for his contribution to the development and growth of the ICT industry in Australia.

GPU vendor Nvidia has announced that its AI and HPC software will be available for Arm-based computers by the end of 2019.

There was a time where the name Cray was synonymous not only with blazingly fast supercomputers, but good interior design as well. But supercomputers have changed, the cloud has come, and things move on.

According to Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, the company has a rule that "no project should have to rely on three miracles" - but the new Tesla P100 accelerator required five.

Around the beginning of December, there were reports, mostly attributed to nameless sources, that the supercomputer at the Bureau of Meteorology had been the target of an intrusion.

Four relatively high profile Cray customers will be among the first to use the Sonexion 2000 storage system.

As expected, Chinese supercomputers have taken the first and third places in the latest list of the world's top supercomputers and only five of the top ten are from USA.  Linux continues to reign supreme.

Flippantly, one might say 'very quickly,' but in reality Monash University researchers are leading the world in this very complex discipline.
