Cadence Unveils Millennium M2000 Supercomputer with NVIDIA Blackwell Systems

SANTA CLARA, Calif.– Cadence today announced the Millennium M2000 Supercomputer featuring NVIDIA Blackwell systems, for AI-basted simulation for engineering and drug design workloads. The supercomputer integrates Cadence’s solvers with NVIDIA HGX B200 systems, NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries and solver software. Cadence said this combination reduces simulation run times and up to […]

Exascale: SUPERLU/STRUMPACK Solvers Get Frontier Upgrade

“Before (the Exascale Computing Project), both packages had very little support for GPUs. We could get some benefit from running on a single GPU, but without updating the code, even 10 GPUs wouldn’t make it run much faster. We had to redesign a lot of algorithms ….”

At SC22: An Update on the Altair-AMD Collaboration

At SC22 we caught up with Altair and AMD on their long-running partnership utilizing AMD data center server chips in support of Altair engineering software. We spoke with Eric Lequiniou, Vice President of RADIOSS Development and Altair Solver HPC, and with AMD’s Kevin Mayo, Director of HPC Engineering. The two spoke about AMD’s latest generation […]

Out of Core Solvers on a Cluster

One of the most used algorithms in numerical simulation is the solving of large, dense matrices. Thermal analysis, boundary element methods and electromagnetic wave calculations all depend on the ability to solve these large matrices as fast as possible. The ability to use a coprocessor such as the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor will greatly speed up these calculations.
