During September of 2018, members of our Cabot Partners team had the opportunity to work with talented engineers and industry experts from HPE, Cadence, Marvell, and Arm. We collaborated to develop a whitepaper and conduct preliminary benchmarks showing how new Cadence tools optimized for multi-core systems benefit from Marvell ThunderX2 Arm-based systems such as the
Carrots and sticks: How new challenges are bringing fresh opportunities for HPC, data analytics, and AI This Cabot Partners article sponsored by IBM was published at HPCwire at this URL. This article is identical, but graphics are presented in higher resolution. ————- For decades, banks have relied on high-performance computing (HPC). When it comes to
Cabot Partners – Software Defined Infrastructure in Life Sciences Final Life sciences research is advancing at a rapid pace. New techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) are playing a vital role in growing scientific knowledge, facilitating the development of targeted drugs, and delivering personalized healthcare. By investigating the human genome, and studying it in the
Realizing a more cost-efficient elastic infrastructure Most of us recall the notion of elasticity from Economics 101. Markets are about supply and demand, and when there is an abundance of supply, prices usually go down. Elasticity is a measure of how responsive one economic variable is to another, and in an elastic market, the response
Parallelizing R with BatchJobs – An example using k-means Gord Sissons, Feng Li Many simulations in R are long running. Analysis of statistical algorithms can generate workloads that run for hours if not days tying up a single computer. Given the amount of time R programmers can spend waiting for results, getting acquainted parallelism makes
