As COVID-19 spreads, researchers, engineers and scientists are in a race against time. That is where supercomputers come in. These near-unlimited compute resources speed up simulations and calculations: the more compute power you have, the more time you can save. […]
Joris Poort, CEO of Rescale, recently spoke at Big Compute 20, where he discussed how some of the greatest applied science innovations are just around the corner if we courageously embrace the power of big compute. From supersonic jets to […]
Rescale, alongside sponsors AWS, Intel, Microsoft, Google Cloud, ANSYS, Siemens and Convergent Science, kicked off the inaugural Big Compute conference Feb 11-12th in San Francisco. Headlining was Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and Chairman of Y Combinator, who sat down […]
Simulation environments face unique challenges: fragmented software and hardware, a large simulation data set, and a complex execution process. Data is isolated and managed using technology 10+ years old. For example, simulation data is managed on the engineering desktop, or […]
This year, we’re co-founding and launching the Big Compute community, and kicking it off with a thought leadership conference in February at SFJAZZ. “What is Big Compute exactly? Is it similar to Big Data?” Well, the Big Compute community is […]
The cloud revolution has begun, and High Performance Computing (HPC) is next. As cloud computing rapidly becomes better, faster, and cheaper than on-premises, no workload will be left untouched, and companies will need to adopt it to remain competitive over […]
“You Promised Me Mars Colonies, and Instead, I Got Facebook” said Buzz Aldrin in a MIT Technology Review article in 2012. PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, added “We wanted flying cars — instead we got 140 characters.” In the article, titled […]
Public cloud computing’s momentum is undeniable. In less than a decade, businesses went from debating whether to use public cloud, to running the majority of workloads on public cloud (58% as of 2016 according to Cisco). Cisco expects this […]
In this Big Compute Podcast episode Gabriel Broner interviews Irene Qualters about her career and the evolution of HPC. Irene, an HPC pioneer, went from being a young, inexperienced female engineer working with Seymour Cray to becoming president of Cray […]
In this Big Compute Podcast episode, Gabriel Broner hosts Mark Borodkin, COO of Bionano Genomics, to discuss how genomics and HPC enable doctors and researchers to diagnose complex diseases and prescribe unique personalized treatments based on individual variations of the […]
