Japanese research institution RIKEN has decided it needs GPUs for its next generation "FugakuNEXT" supercomputer and has signed Nvidia to supply them and design the systems needed to get them working. RIKEN is home to Fugaku, a machine that from mid-2020 spent two years atop the TOP500 list of Earth's mightiest supercomputers. The machine is still in seventh place, but RIKEN wants an upgrade and has already awarded a contract to Fujitsu to build its successor and the custom Arm-based CPU called "MONAKA-X"

The top option in AMD's new Zen 5-based Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9000 WX-Series CPUs will be priced at $11,699 and features 96 cores and 192 threads. This flagship model, the Threadripper Pro 9995WX, is designed for workstations and will begin shipping on July 23rd.

OpenCL was groundbreaking as it allowed developers to write code that could run across heterogeneous platforms-CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and FPGAs-from different vendors. This was the first major step toward democratizing GPU programming.

Nvidia's recent initiative to dive deeper into the GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS) model marks a significant and strategic shift that reflects an evolving landscape within the cloud computing market.

Enterprises looking to integrate immense processing power into their data centers will find that the Dell PowerEdge R7725 surpasses all competitors.

The announcement positions Applied Digital as a key player in infrastructure for AI and high-performance computing, bolstered by 15-year leases with CoreWeave.

Key investors will be eager to see if IREN can maintain its profitability, particularly amidst the volatile landscape of bitcoin prices and fluctuating energy costs.

The integration of Intel oneAPI into SciPy allows enhanced performance in high-performance computing applications, making SciPy more accessible for users of Intel's toolkit.
