As part of a multi-year effort that promises to yield advances in high-performance computing, IBM, Nvidia, and two US Department of Energy national laboratories announced this week they have created two centers of excellence for supercomputing.
Announced at the International Supercomputing Conference in Frankfurt earlier this week, the alliance calls for IBM and Nvidia to work with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop a new generation of HPC technologies based on IBM OpenPower processors and graphic processor accelerators and interconnects from Nvidia.
