TACHYUM: PRODIGY WILL DIRECTLY ENABLE A 32-TENSOR EXAFLOP SUPERCOMPUTER AND ALLOW THE BUILDING OF MACHINES MORE POWERFUL THAN THE HUMAN BRAIN

Leave a comment

 

SAN JOSE, California, USA, 18-Sep-2019 — /EPR COMPUTER NEWS/ — Today, Tachyum announced that Dr. Kurt Lauk has joined the company’s Board of Advisors. Dr. Lauk served on several management boards, including Daimler and Audi, and as a member of the EU Parliament. For 15 years, he was Chairman of the Economy Council (Wirtschaftsrat) and advised Angela Merkel in that capacity. He is Founder and President of Globe CP GmbH, a personally owned family office since 2000.

Dr. Lauk brings to Tachyum’s Board of Advisors valuable insights regarding European industries, including his deep understanding of European manufacturers and suppliers, along with expertise in international strategy and extensive experience bringing technology innovations to market.

Dr. Lauk has extensive European business experience, primarily through his positions as a Member of the Board of Management and Head of Worldwide Commercial Vehicles Division of Daimler Chrysler (1996-1999), as well as Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Audi AG (1989-1992).

Dr. Lauk currently serves as independent director on the supervisory boards of Magna Inc (Toronto), and Fortemedia (Cupertino). In July 2018 Nomura, Asia’s global investment bank, appointed him as Germany and Austria Advisory Board Chairman. Since 2000 he is a Trustee of IISS (International Institute of Strategic Studies in London). He previously held the position of Chief Executive Officer at Zinser Textil Machinery GmbH, 1978-1984 Vice President/Consultant/Partner at Boston Consulting Group, and Chief Financial Officer & Controller for VEBA AG (today E.ON SE).

Dr. Lauk earned a graduate degree from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, an MBA `77 from Stanford Graduate School of Business and a doctorate in international politics from the University of Kiel. His extensive and varied experience includes service as a Member of the European Parliament (2004 2009), including as a Member of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee, and as a Deputy Member of the Foreign and Security Affairs Committee.

“Tachyum is honored to have an international business and technology luminary of Dr. Lauk’s caliber on our Board of Advisors,” said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, Tachyum’s Founder and CEO. “I am personally excited to work directly with Kurt, to be able to rely on his advice and counsel, especially regarding EU business strategies and how Tachyum can help facilitate EU technological sovereignty.”

“Today, Slovakia is the world’s largest per capita car producer. I look forward to working with Tachyum and Dr. Lauk to identify Prodigy value-added insertion points within Industry 4.0 and the automotive sector,” said Adrian Vycital representing Tachyum’s lead investor IPM, “We believe Tachyum will play an essential role in creating an innovation ecosystem, which is a key factor in the transformation of the Slovak economy from manufacturing to knowledge-based.”

Tachyum is on track with the design of its flagship product, code named Prodigy, the world’s first Universal Processor. High performance and ultra-low power, Prodigy offers industry-leading performance for data center, AI, and HPC workloads. With telecoms transitioning to 5G, Prodigy will bring AI from cell tower mounted datacenters to power intelligent IoT devices and autonomous systems. Tachyum is planning a 7nm tapeout next year, with volume production in 2021.

Tachyum’s Prodigy Universal Processor Chip is the smallest and fastest general purpose, 64-core processor developed to date, requiring 10x less processor power, and reducing processor cost by 3x. Prodigy will directly enable a 32-Tensor Exaflop supercomputer and allow the building of machines more powerful than the human brain by 2021, years ahead of industry expectations. Prodigy reduces data center TCO (annual total cost of ownership) by 4x, through its disruptive processor architecture and a smart compiler that has made many parts of the hardware found in typical processors redundant. Fewer transistors, fewer and shorter wires, due to a smaller, simpler core, translates into much greater speed and power efficiency for the Prodigy processor.

Take the uncertainty out of buying a new computer cluster: free simulation test on a high performance computer cluster

Leave a comment

MINNEAPOLIS, Mar-02-2017 — /EPR COMPUTER NEWS/ — Nor-Tech, the top provider of powerful, user-friendly computers, just announced a free simulation test on a high performance computer cluster for CAE, CFD, FEA software. This is an excellent way for organizations to see the benefits of moving from a workstation to a high performance computer cluster.

The test is a free opportunity for organizations to try simulation software on the newest Nor-Tech high performance computer clusters with the newest high-demand software installed. Also, organizations can integrate their own software into the test computer cluster.

Nor-Tech President and CEO David Bollig said, “Our clients trust us to take the uncertainty out of buying a new computer cluster or upgrading the computer cluster they currently own. They need to know the software they are currently using or want to use in the future will run better on a computer cluster and reduce time-to-results. The test cluster provides that assurance.”

Nor-Tech guarantees that their high performance computer clusters are easy to set up and use; and clients will not have to wait on the phone for service and support.

“Our test cluster is designed for organizations that need better technology than a workstation,” Bollig said. “Clients who buy a high performance computer cluster typically see a significant improvement in efficiency; better resolution; better use of their engineers; and faster results.”

To test software on the high performance computer cluster, organizations should first contact Nor-Tech for a quick discussion. Then Nor-Tech will add the organization to the schedule. Nor-Tech will then configure the hardware and software for the organization and provide remote access to the test computer cluster. The organization will then run the software and ultimately see the results. Where there is sensitive information involved, Nor-Tech will typically sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Simulations run on the latest Intel Xeon CPU and NVIDIA GPUs.

Nor-Tech, winner of many technology awards, is famous in the science, university, research, and business markets for powerful, easy to use high performance computer clusters and fast, no wait support. Major recent projects include Elon Musk’s Hyperloop Transportation System; the LIGO Gravitational Project at Cal State Fullerton; and the University of Wisconsin’s IceCube Neutrino Project at the South Pole.

First Ever Dual Screen Super Tablet/Laptop

Leave a comment

With an extraordinary prototype for a dual screen tablet/laptop, Allotropes Design is in development of the AURUS Diamond Dual 10.1. In need of funding to bring the ultimate convenience in multi-tasking to the marketplace, the computer is categorized as both a tablet and a laptop because while the design is all laptop, its two screens fully function independently similar to a tablet. “This computer is the only one of its kind in the world.” said Joshua Letcher, CEO of Allotropes Design. “We will be the first to offer a computer with two 10.1” touch screens in full HD. Soon people will be able to check their email on one screen and manage their stocks or play a game on the other.”

The busy person’s dream, the Android tablet/laptop AURUS Diamond Dual 10.1 needs every pledge of support available to bring the idea to the marketplace. In development from the ground up in partnership with manufacturers for the past twelve months, Allotropes Design is now ready to release the product globally.

“We’ve offered quite a few benefits to the people who pledge to the project. And we will fulfill the Indiegogo pledges first, so supporting us on our crowdfunding page is the best route to take right now to get the AURUS introductory pricing.” added Letcher.

While the AURUS is highly anticipated, if sufficient funding is not received it will hit the market at a considerably higher price, at a much later time, with less features and be released to geographic locations.

OCZ solid state drives now available at BT Business Direct

Leave a comment

Solid state drives (SSDs) from computer hardware manufacturer OCZ Technology are now available at BT Business Direct. The new Synapse Cache SSD, released late 2011, can add speed and higher performance to even older model PCs and so is gaining the most interest on a wide consumer market right now.

OCZ Technology releases new high-tech SSDs on regular bases, driving the innovation into every angle of SSD technology. This includes the new Synapse Cache series that enable any computer to enjoy the increased performance of SSD. This technology is independent from hardware, unlike others and can be used on any modern platform.

A standard SSD + HDD setup will make one program fast and the other slow, load one game quickly but the other lags off the scale. The OCZ Synapse cache SSD will integrate with the hard drive becoming one storage solution and dynamically manage the entire storage capacity of the hard drive. It is the typical example of ‘Best of Both World’; full capacity and full performance.

The Dataplex software makes the integration of SSD and HDD possible. The SSD stores‘hot’ data (files that are accessed often) on the high-speed SSD, while ‘cold’ data (files that are less-frequently accessed) are stored on the HDD. Once you have booted your PC with the OCZ Synapse SSD installed, it will start cache immediately. And after two or three reboots the fast responsiveness of the computer will start improving dramatically and the more it is used, the faster it will become.

Vivienne Kennedy, Category Manager of BT Business Direct said: “These SSDs are the ideal addition to any work or home PC and can help to improve running speeds and make accessing files a quick and easy job. We are very pleased to be able to stock them, but customers should buy now in order to avoid disappointment.”

Both the 64GB and 128GB versions of OCZ’s SSDs are available at BT Business direct now and retail at £87.49 and £134.16 respectively.

New High-Tech OCZ Solid State Drives Now Available At dabs.com

Leave a comment

Computer technology retailer dabs.com has recently unveiled new stock of OCZ’s latest solid state drive (SSD), which is set to be the hottest SSD on the computing market this year.

Anyone who wants to increase the power and performance of their computer without having to complete a full upgrade should take a look at OCZ Technology’s new Synapse Cache Solid State Drives.

These SSDs use new Dataplex software that makes them totally unique – unlike most SSDs on the market right now they are designed to be used in conjunction with standard hard drives (HDD). This new Dataplex software increases the speed at which data can be cached, as well as overhauling the way that it is done.

In the past, using an SSD and an HDD at the same time could have actually slowed down the entire running of your home PC, unless you were willing to upgrade to a SATA HDD and use an external enclosure to make data transfer speeds faster. Many people still want to be able to take advantage of the large capacity of their HDD while also benefiting from fast processing with a SSD, and with the Synapse Cache SSD this is now possible.

Duncan Rutherford, Product Manager of dabs.com said: “We understand that customers don’t always have the time or money to perform a full upgrade of their PC just to be able to make use of their new solid state drive, so buying a new motherboard just isn’t possible.

“With the help of OCZ’s amazing new SSD, our customers can get exactly what they want out of their PC without having to spend anything extra.”

The Synapse Cache SSD works so well because it caches ‘hot’ data that is used often on the easy-to-access SSD, while ‘cold’ data is stored on the HDD. By the third time that you run your system with this SSD, all of the data will have been sorted, so you can begin reaping the rewards of the fast Dataplex technology.

dabs.com currently stocks the OCZ Synapse Cache Solid State Drives in 64GB (32GB cache capacity) and 128GB (64GB cache capacity), and both can be bought from the online shop now.

dabs.com Begins Selling AMD’s A-Series APU Range Promising Triple-A Performance on One Chip

Leave a comment

Processor and graphics chip become one with the latest release of the AMD APU – capable of DirectX 11 graphics and quad-core processing power, with two processors available now at dabs.com.

With on-board graphics chips in the past many PC owners and builders have had to buy additional Graphics cards in order to be able to handle the latest PC games and HD videos. This all changes with the introduction of AMD’s revolutionary A8 APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), the combination of a high-performance CPU with bespoke graphics capabilities to rival the latest standalone graphics cards.

AMD, well known for their Processors, acquired graphics specialist ATi Technologies in 2006 and many computing journalists speculated on the day that AMD would incorporate ATi’s Radeon graphics chipsets in to an all-encompassing and economical chip.

The APU is the product of this union and UK computing and consumer electronics specialist dabs.com now has two models – the AMD A8-3850 and the AMD A6-3650 – available at great prices.

Duncan at dabs.com said: “With up to 3x more graphics capabilities compared to competing systems the AMD APU achieves incredible performance in all situations where a powerhouse PC is required.

“From streaming HD content to playing the latest highly-detailed PC games, the APU with AMD’s Turbo CORE Technology and DirectX 11 support ensures that users get incredible power from one component.”

Duncan added: “For added performance and capability the AMD APU works seamlessly with many of the latest Radeon HD 6000 graphics cards to boost the graphics processing power by a staggering 75 per cent.”

As well as the visual features, the A8 and A6 APU chips also offer many other features that are becoming essential in the home and the home office, such as multi-monitor support and the Advanced 32nm CPU that is both powerful and low on power-usage.

The Socket FM1 processor is now available at dabs.com priced at £109.99 for the 2.9GHz A8-3850 and £89.98 for the 2.6 GHz A6-3650.

With collaborative work made possible with Google Docs and wireless printing to a wide range of compatible HP printers, the HP TouchPad’s abilities help make many common tasks effortless and convenient.

The HP TouchPad also works seamlessly with the HP Pre3 Smartphone. With HP’s Touchstone technology it is easy to share emails, web pages and text messages by simply touching the two devices together. In situations where users find a useful website on their Pre3 mobile phone they can touch the HP TouchPad and instantly view the same page on a much larger 9.7” vibrant display.

Jade Tomlinson, Category Manager at BT Business Direct said, “The HP TouchPad has been highly anticipated for some time now, since the initial announcement many business owners have looked on the HP tablet PC as one that suits business use down to the ground.

“At just 1.6lbs and using the Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual-CPU the HP TouchPad is an entirely acceptable business laptop replacement and looks great in meetings, presentations or checking emails on the go thanks to Wireless-N WiFi capabilities.”

There are two versions of the HP TouchPad in stock and available to order from BT Business Direct, the 16GB and 32GB versions, priced at £332.49 Ex VAT and £399.00 ex VAT, respectively.

Affordable Netbooks from BT Shop Mean Mobile Computing For Every Home

Leave a comment

BT Shop now has a wide range of Netbook computers for under£250 as the popularity of these ultra-portable computers reaches new levels, with more models available and many operating systems now designed specifically for these smaller laptops.

Since their introduction a few years back netbook computers – laptops that were powerful enough to carry out most typical usage such as browsing the internet and checking emails – have soared in popularity with many of today’s top brands such as Asus, Acer and Samsung all offering multiple different iterations to suit any needs.

The smaller form factor suited this type of machine due to the less demanding nature of the machine and has quickly become popular for families that would like an additional computer in the home or anyone looking for a small and portable computer that won’t break the bank.

BT Shop, the UK telecommunications company’s online shop has recently introduced a range of attractive and capable netbooks all under £250, with many including standout features such as Windows 7 Starter, fast Wireless 802.11n connectivity and enhanced ergonomic designs letting the user forget about the smaller size of the netbook computer.

Caroline Hodgson, BT Shop Executive at BT Shop said, “The Netbook is a convenient and ‘quick access’ form of the laptop computers we all know and use either at home or at work on a day to day basis.

“However many laptops can be large and expensive, with netbooks though, much more people can easily afford a computer that performs the most common tasks such as emailing friends and family, run office programmes and browse the internet.

Caroline added, “We have made a selection of the latest and most impressive netbooks available for under £250 in hope to encourage those who may have shied away from buying a personal computer based on the price or not having the space to dedicate for a desktop computer in their home”

The range of netbooks included in BT Shop’s deal includes the Asus Eee PC 1015P Seashell, Acer Aspire One D255E, Asus Eee PC 1005PX and the Samsung N145+. Each model comes with the powerful and lightweight Microsoft Windows 7 Starter and battery life spans between 4 and 11 hours. Further details about these and other netbooks and laptops can be found at the website, http://shop.bt.com.

Effortless and Productive Business Printers from Samsung Now Available At BT Business Direct

Leave a comment

Businesses of all sizes need a printer that can keep up with their fast pace and produce high quality documents. With the new ML-5510ND and ML-6510ND mono laser printers from Samsung, printing has never been so easy and effective.

With business printers used frequently throughout the working day and by many members of staff, a common complaint from business owners is that their printing solutions are not as effective as they should be. Paper jams, limited connectivity and high costs are just some of the problems that they have cited as being real drains on productivity and funds.

“Our business customers have often said to us that their printing costs could really do with being lower or that the number of problems they have had with their current printers have caused many problems, from low quality documents that reflect poorly on their businesses to delayed document printing that can make them late for meetings or miss postal deadlines,” said BT Business Directs Print Category Manager, Nadine Roache.

“With a reliable brand in Samsung we are certain the latest line of business-focussed mono laser printers are up to the task. They have many beneficial features, chief of which being a printing speed of 54 pages per minute on the ML-5510ND.”

The printers have a wide range of money and time saving features such as a one touch‘Eco mode’ that with the touch of a button prints using less toner, prolonging the lifespan of toner cartridges for internal or draft documents.

With an onboard 700mhz dual-core processor, the Samsung printers are built with speed in mind, and with Gigabit network connectivity they are perfectly suited to a networked environment with multiple workstations and employees printing from the one printer.

As well as speed, the ML-5510ND and ML-6510ND both boast large paper capacities, with some configurations able to store over 1,000 pages, meaning less time spent on adding paper to the printer and less delays when staff are trying to get documents printed quickly.

CDL Repeats Green IT Awards Success

Leave a comment

Leading IT disposal company CDL has triumphed for the second year in a row at the Green IT Awards, winning Recycling Project Of The Year in recognition of a highly successful strategy devised for The Co-operative Travel.

CDL helped to refresh 1,900 systems for the travel industry giant by devising an effective scheme to collect old computer equipment and deliver new hardware, by visiting multiple sites in close proximity on a daily rota. CDL’s security-cleared drivers and vehicular satellite tracking ensured that data security was not compromised.

The ingenious project not only produced fantastic results for The Co-operative Travel, but also succeeded in attaining CDL’s environmental objectives.

The delivery and collection schedule created by CDL reduced the projected timescale of the overhaul by six weeks and cut anticipated fuel use by an enormous 500 per cent (approximately), slashing both the expected cost and carbon dioxide emissions.

CDL Director Jean-Pierre Naylor said: “We are thrilled to be honoured by the Green IT Awards for a second year and proud of our achievements with regard to this project.

“As well as making huge savings in fuel and pollution, we were able to refurbish and reuse 100 per cent of equipment collected from The Co-operative Travel – and we also reused all packaging. We were so pleased with the outcome that we have implemented the project’s principles in our daily business practices, which also include printer recycling.”

Demonstrating the kind of innovative thinking that has led the company to awards success, CDL also used the opportunity to experiment with cutting motorway speeds by 5 per cent, which resulted in a fuel saving of 12 per cent.
