NUMA on POWER9

Non-uniform memory access (NUMA) systems are servers made up a single planar board (motherboard) with more than one CPU socket. On such servers, each CPU socket is directly connected to part of the system main memory but can also use parts of the main memory to which it is not directly connected via a crossbar or interconnect.

New Year's Resolution for HPC: Using Resources More Efficiently

A hearty happy new year to everyone. It’s that time of the year that we hear from folks about their resolutions for new year’s. But rather than talk about me purchasing a gym membership, I’d like to share my thoughts on a new year’s resolution for HPC.

Hello operator. I need an HPC cluster – fast

As users of HPC look to build new workflows that go beyond traditional simulation and modeling, cloud native development models that rely upon Kubernetes (K8s) and Docker are front of mind.

The Easy HPC button

We live in a results-driven world. Whether it’s an aerodynamicist waiting on simulation results to determine the efficiency of their latest model, or a doctor waiting on genomic pipeline results to determine next steps for a patient, results make the world go round.

Weekend IT SPARC-eology

Well it’s that time of the year again in the northern hemisphere where the weather starts to change and the autumn colours are in full swing.
