ISC 2016Frankfurt, Germany | June 20, 2016
A recap of Day Two
![Page 2: ISC 2016 Day 2 Recap](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042723/587e05881a28abe11a8b5acb/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
During Day 2 at
ISC 2016, we
learned about
the importance
of HPC for all
types of
organizations.

And the
importance of the
HPC community
and all its
members in
addressing global
problems.

This community is charged more
than any other for responsibly
charting our future course and the
preservation of the planet. Women
are in it for the long haul - we play an
extremely important role in this.

But challenges,
like the
availability of
HPC resources
and the need for
specialized
hardware,
remain.

There is currently a discrepancy between the
requests of compute cycles by scientists, with
the computing resources available.
It adds up to core hours of
lost science.
By bolstering existing nodes with GPU
acceleration, we can alleviate this.

Traditionally the HPC community dealt
mostly with weather and climate, but with
environmental computing we must think
about exposure and vulnerability of the
population with extreme events, which
introduces the complexity of disparate
data at different scales and the noisy data
of human behavior. It's a different type of
computing problem that requires
heterogeneous and specialized
architectures.

It's about efficiency - it's nice to
have a supercomputer, but at
humanoid robot scale it's not
possible. There's a need for
specialized hardware.

But the OpenPOWER
Foundation and its
members are taking the
reins to address these
issues.

We’re building systems for the
cognitive era. Systems that
perform traditional simulation
and augment human intelligence.
We have the HPC systems that
can make both possible.

Minsky came together through
the combined efforts of IBM,
NVIDIA, Mellanox and Wistron.
Eliminating the PCIe bottleneck
with NVLink will allow GPUs to
reach new levels of application
performance.

This makes it the world’s best
system for HPC and clustered
analytics.

We're excited to start showcasing
OpenPOWER. Our biggest interest is a gateway
into a GPU platform with NVIDIA using P100
and NVLink, which gives us the ability to handle
larger workload sizes. Not having that interface
in our x86 machines was a bottleneck for our
customers.

We see a major
opportunity working with
OpenPOWER for the next
generation of high output
nodes, especially in HPC.
Working with IBM allows
us to enable other
OpenPOWER members in
adopting Asetek liquid
cooling in the data center
and for HPC.

And with the
right tools in
place, it’s only a
matter of time
before we reach
a brand new
frontier of
computing.

Everyone is talking about deep
learning. It’s a reinvention of
existing algorithms and
approaches driven by the
availability of Big Data and
accelerators. Carlo Nardone
