Breaking Boundaries with Supercomputer Storage
Summary
The existence of multiple paths between each pair of nodes ensures that storage grids can maintain optimum performance under conditions of fluctuating load. The new solution brings ground-breaking capabilities for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based applications and workloads, providing full GPU resource utilization in servers such as IBM Power AC922 and the fastest benchmarks with NVIDIA DGX systems. This year, presentations, tutorials, panels, and discussion forums will address a very wide range of scientific and engineering research, as well as technological development, innovation, breakthroughs, and inspired new areas of computing. Imagine a list of storage infrastructure requirements that seem almost impossible to address all in one solution: Along with exploring topics ranging from the crucial role of Information Architecture to the effects of containers and Kubernetes in HPC environments, IBM experts will introduce the new ESS 3000 platform in detail during the Technical Seminars at SC19. Grid storage isn’t new to the HPC audience, but on-going innovation is keeping this powerful architecture very relevant for today’s AI and Big Data workloads.
