From #desktops to #supercomputers, from the #datacenter to the #cloud, #ARM poses the greatest threat to #x86 dominance in over a decade

#HPC #AI @Arm @intel @AMD @awscloud @Azure @nvidia

@suhaibkhan:
Apple’s gamble, with the M1, is that its custom CPU performance is now so high, at such low power consumption, that the choice of chip inside the system has become irrelevant within a given product generation.

RT @hpcnotes: It’s fun to speculate about future CPUs for #HPC - so time to predict the future …

In 2030, which processor architecture will be the strongest challenger (ie 2nd place) to the dominant architecture of that time?

Will the challenger be #ARM, #RISCV, #x86, or something else?

RT @HatemLtaief: Support for Hardware #heterogeneity: the question is not when… but how? Slides from production manager Tsutomu Takeda @NEC_corp during #ISC21 webinar. Interesting system integration: #vector #x86 #GPU #storage #Infiniband. Help! :-) https://twitter.com/HatemLtaief/status/1410156221181665281/photo/1

EPYC is EPIC!

👇 Thread by @HatemLtaief on accelerating RT calculations for giant telescopes

@AMD Rome leads the pack (including HBM based CPUs) in terms of sustained bandwidth for their code by fitting into LLC

@HatemLtaief:
The return of #x86… Compress algebraically the operator, fit into LLC, and run at cache bandwidth speed. This turns out to nicely work on #AMD #Epyc processors, making #HBM based hardware jealous :-) #SC21 #HPC #astronomy https://t.co/ALhDWoTzVw

"That's the first time in Intel's history we'll license x86 soft cores and hard cores to customers who would like to develop chips"

@Intel's plan to license #x86 cores for chips with Arm, RISC-V and more inside

Nvidia’s #Grace CPU Superchip is expected in 2023, so the only comparisons that will matter would be with other CPUs expected around then - not with previous generations from Intel & AMD

ParaS is an implementation of the SYCL 2020 specification, developed for architectural and vendor neutral programming

The current version enables seamless execution across CPUs of #x86 (Intel and AMD) and #ARM as well as #CUDA enabled NVIDIA GPUs

ARMed and dangerous? @AMD and @intel unite against a common threat

Or are they worried about a RISCVy future?

Should have done this much earlier

Would love to hear your thoughts

ICYMI: @HPCwire looks back at some colorful moments in the #x86 history between @intel and @AMD

o AMD almost gave up on x86 in servers after major product flops

o Looking at Intel now, it is hard to imagine that it used to be the big bully
