Only the PBS Pro "Base Scheduler" and Simulate" packages have been updated (Budget and Cloud packages remain as 2021.1.3). PBS Pro 2021.1.4 is a focused bug fix release, with the following 3…
Bringing computing and HPC to the masses is a quest that drives me. As England reaches a roasting 40 degrees and I struggle to type this, I could not be more aware of the climate crisis that affects my children and future generations around the world. We need to change almost every aspect of human systems, and that seismic…
Quantum computers are moving from the world of science fiction into science fact. Most machines only have a few qubits, but as they expand, the computational complexity of preparing workloads for quantum computers is going to explode. Here at Altair, we are preparing for that future. HPC and quantum computing are entangled…
With approximately 60,000 products spanning four business groups, 3M is constantly improving products to fit the needs of its customers. Modelling and simulation touch many stages of the product development process at 3M and high-performance computing is critical to accommodating such computationally intensive workloads.…
Assuming that you are familiar with the concept of cloud computing, perhaps a better question might be: what is the difference between public cloud and private cloud? Public cloud usually means compute resources rented from one of the popular cloud vendors: AWS, Azure, Oracle or Google Cloud. Of course, there are other…
Are the days of CPUs and GPUs numbered in the AI space as the availability of custom microchips for inference explodes? Who will win as the VHS vs. Betamax story replays in the machine learning hardware arena? Who will see a return from their investment in these billion-dollar unicorn startups? As algorithms are gradually…
