NVIDIA and IBM Bring Supercomputing to Big Data Analytics
I wrote this blog on Oct 6, 2014 at NVIDIA’s Blog.
NVIDIA and IBM are working to tackle some of the most vexing challenges of data center computing.
Last Friday, IBM announced that it’s developing a GPU-accelerated version of its DB2 database software with BLU Acceleration — the database used around the world by enterprise customers handling high-volume workloads.
And, IBM plans to accelerate its other big data software packages in the future.
IBM is also optimizing Power versions of popular GPU-accelerated applications for bioinformatics, defense, finance, molecular dynamics, and weather modeling , including SOAP3, NAMD, GROMACS, FFTW library, and Quantum Espresso.
And, they’ll all take advantage of the availability of the world’s first GPU-accelerated OpenPower systems.
Here is a link to all the blogs I wrote on the NVIDIA blog.
