Some scoff at the Schrödinger’s Box nature of it, but some serious supercomputing users and investors are onboard with D-Wave’s commercial application of quantum computing. By Kathleen Maher D-Wave goes beyond the idea of accelerating computations the way Nvidia and AMD’s GPUs do or like Intel’s Phi. D-Wave positions itself as the next step in computing: quantum … [Read more...] about D-Wave brings quantum computing co-processing to supercomputing

Twenty petaflops of supercomputer power from off-the-shelf parts
Cray built the Oak Ridge Laboratories Titan supercomputer from AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs. Power consumption is becoming as big an issue as compute capacity. By Alex Herrera Has the design of supercomputers changed forever? We tend to think so, Cray and Oak Ridge National Laboratories surely think so, and Nvidia is 100% convinced and committed to the premise. The three lined … [Read more...] about Twenty petaflops of supercomputer power from off-the-shelf parts
