At Xilinx XDF we saw a Supermicro Power9 based server behind the IBM LC922 2U dual IBM Power9 solution. This demo system paired the Supermicro P9DSU-C platform with a Xilinx Alveo FPGA card to show off what the two can accomplish together.
Another year, another hard drive capacity. 2018 can now boast it was the year of the 15TB hard drive as the HGST Ultrastar DC HC620 15TB launched. HGST is quick to note that this is now the highest capacity hard drive on the market.
Our Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3 review shows you why this cooler aims to be the ultimate cooler for 4U AMD EPYC and AMD Threadripper servers and workstations
With up to 48x Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC's the Aupera AUP2603 can handle 380 concurrent live video transcoding streams and real-time content analytics through AI inferencing on the FPGA fabrics.
Our Intel Xeon Gold 6148 benchmarks and review show why this is the go-to HPC chip. It combines high clock speeds among relatively few cores and has options for features such as 100Gbps Omni-Path fabric
At Oracle OpenWorld 2018 Oracle announced the availability of an intriguing new instance type. The new Oracle E series will be AMD EPYC based and will start with a standard E2 instance. We wanted to cover this because it has a few unique features in the announcement.
We thoroughly evaluate the claims made by Bloomberg in their Supermicro China tampering stories and found them likely impossible or implausible at best. We take stock of sources and discuss the next steps calling for formal SEC and shareholder investigations of Bloomberg.
Packet is trying a new experiment offering GPU compute instances starting at $0 per hour and letting the market set pricing. One of the more interesting aspects of the announcement is that it is testing this strategy ahead of new technologies such as the Graphcore IPU and Mellanox Bluefield SoCs
If you are a new administrator, we have basic BMC and IPMI management security practices that will help you avoid common pitfalls. These steps are quick to set up and require very little if any incremental investment to deploy.
Our Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 review shows what a massive 140mm air cooler for AMD EPYC and AMD Ryzen Threadripper can do. We test this against an AIO water cooler and two other Noctua air coolers
