Fostering Innovation in Today's and Tomorrow's HPC Community - Intel® Chip Chat episode 616

Trish Damkroger, Vice President and General Manager of the Technical Computing Initiative at Intel, joins Chip Chat to share her unique perspective on enabling the high-performance computing (HPC) community. In addition to leading Technical Computing for Intel, Damkroger has since 2006 been a leader of the annual SuperComputing Conference series, including serving as the vice-chair of the SC18 conference. In this interview, Damkroger discusses the convergence of AI with traditional HPC workloads like simulation and modeling and the necessity of HPC for driving innovation in the data era. Damkroger additionally speaks to Intel announcements from SC18, including a look at the future Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors codenamed Cascade Lake advanced performance, Intel's new leadership product for HPC. These processors feature an optimized multi-chip packaging with unprecedented memory bandwidth[1] from 12 DDR4 memory channels per processor for the most-demanding applications like AI, HPC, and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Finally, talks about her work to foster future generations of the high-performance computing community.

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. § For more information go to www.intel.com/benchmarks.

Performance results are based on testing as of 10/31/2018 and may not reflect all publicly available security updates.

Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at intel.com.
