While field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are certainly not new, their time to take the market by force did not fully arrive until 2016, at least for a new wave of applications in research, enterprise, and machine learning. With key acquisitions, highly publicized use cases of FPGAs at scale for real-world applications, and momentum to make programming these devices easier, FPGAs found the limelight-and that story is just beginning. Tracing the progression of FPGA use cases, technology developments, and market trends via the compute infrastructure analysis publication, The Next Platform,...

Cloud computing for high performance computing users has been the subject of great interest since the mid-2000s, but it is only relatively recently that the range of CPU and memory options, networking, ecosystem of software licenses, and cultural factors have been in place to make it thrive. In this 2017 edition of The State of HPC Cloud, veteran journalists and analysts in the HPC and cloud space, Nicole Hemsoth and Timothy Prickett Morgan, look at the variety of technology developments that have made cloud-based supercomputing possible as well as how other factors, including the expansion...
