Search Data Center, Friday, November 22nd, 2024
AI's effects on supercomputing helped shift the focus toward enterprise demands at SC24, as vendors such as Dell and HPE showcased new offerings.
This year at SC24, IT vendors such as Dell, HPE, Weka, Pure Storage and DDN not only unveiled new supercomputing products, they also focused on enterprise offerings that suggest HPC's shift from research and academia to the enterprise. Some vendors, such as HPE and Dell, also highlighted liquid cooling at the show, as the technique for cooling infrastructure gains interest due to the heat generation and energy demands of GPUs in AI workloads.
While the Supercomputing Conference has been around since 1988, there has been a noticeable change in the last 10 years from displays of distant future enterprise technology to the tech of today, according to Matt Kimball, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy.
