A "kitchen keynote" by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reveals the first product based on next-generation Ampere architecture-- the A100, a datacentre GPU built for data analytics, scientific computing and cloud graphics.

The company claims the A100 is the largest 7nm-based processor, carrying over 54 billion transistors. It includes 3rd generation Tensor Cores with TF32, a math format to accelerate single-precision AI training, and uses structural sparsity acceleration for higher performance. A multi-instance GPU (MIG) allows customers to partition a single A100 into as many as seven independent GPUs, each with own resources, while 3rd generation NVLink technology doubles the high-speed connectivity between GPUs, turning A100 servers into one giant GPU.

Gartner: IT Spending to Drop -8% in 2020

E-mail Print PDF

Gartner predicts global IT spending will reach $3.4 trillion in 2020-- a -8% decline from 2019 brought about by a combination of the coronavirus pandemic and effects of the global economic recession.

Gartner Q1 2020 forecast

The combination, according to the analyst, leads to CIOs prioritising spending on technology and services deemed "mission-critical," as opposed to initiatives aimed at growth or transformation. As a result recovery will not follow previous patterns, since the forces behind the recession will bring both supply side and demand side shocks as public health, social and commercial restriction start to lessen.

Scale Computing announces the HC3250DF, a next-generation HC3 appliance aimed at performance-intensive used cases such as database analytics and high density Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments.

Scale Computing appliance

Designed to meet the needs of both SMB and enterprise customers, from the core datacentre to the edge, the HC3250DF brings faster storage, more CPU and faster networking options. The company says the solution does not attempt to emulate classic SAN storage infrastructure. Instead it uses NVMe storage with no need for manual configuration, making it easier to deploy, manage and scale out. It also consumes less system RAM, making more memory available for virtual machines.
