Tag: High Performance Computing (HPC)

The expansion of High Performance Computing (HPC) beyond the niches of higher education and government realms to corporate and business computing use cases has been on the rise. One catalyst of this trend is increasing innovation in hardware platforms and software development. Both respectively drive down the cost of deploying supercomputing services with each iteration […]

The image of open source software has changed. No longer seen as the geeky, slightly awkward alternative to mainstream software, it’s now trendy, fashionable and super-cool. Well, OK, it still has the geeky edge and it’s still all about innovation. However, it has grown and matured to the point where everyone from small businesses to […]

Artful Tiering – Extending the reach of HPC with SUSE Enterprise Storage. Have you noticed that everything about the high-performance computing environment is big: hundreds, even thousands of processors generating millions of CPU cycles. And it generates a lot of data. It doesn’t take long to realize that data storage is an important component in […]

As I’ve been discussing in recent posts, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world as we speak, in part because of its ability to humanize technology. Another reason AI is having such an impact is that it’s becoming more natural and powerful. Interacting with AI has become so natural to us that we no longer […]

As discussed in my recent blog post, artificial intelligence (AI) is being deployed more often—and by a wider variety of organizations—every day. One reason for this is AI’s ability to humanize technology. I realized how important this could be when watching a friend’s daughter interact with Alexa, Amazon’s voice-controlled assistant. Here was a girl under […]

Robot butlers and flying cars aren’t quite the norm yet, but it’s easy to start dreaming about future innovations when talking about artificial intelligence (AI). The truth is, AI isn’t just a fun topic for discussions about tomorrow—it’s here today, happening all around us, and swiftly growing into a force for change in business and […]

In Part 2, I summarized the iterations applied to the kernel (the piece of CUDA code that executes on GPU) to remove the bottlenecks encountered during profiling, like using shared memory to avoid non-coalesced memory access. In this part, I will talk about the final version of the kernel and using the GPU in other […]

In Part 1, I introduced the problem of metrics aggregations for Ceilometer in OpenStack and how Gnocchi (a time-series database) tries to solve it in a different way. I argued about possibility of offloading work to (Nvida Quadro K620) GPU. This part summarizes the iterations applied to the kernel (piece of CUDA code, that executes […]

Background (Why): Openstack has component: Ceilometer (Telemetry). Ceilometer was huge and its main purpose was to help with the Monitoring and Metering of whole of th OpenStack. But because of the scale at which OpenStack operates, Ceilometer would often fall behind and become a major bottleneck for the same function it was designed to do. […]
