Intel is using the ISC High Performance supercomputing conference to lay out a fresh roadmap for HPC customers. The company is explaining some of the hardware development decisions it has made this year, including the pivot on Falcon Shores, transforming it from XPU into a pure GPU design, as well as more high-level details of what will eventually become Intel’s next HPC-class GPU. Intel is also offering an update on Aurora, its Sapphire Rapids with HBM + Ponte Vecchio based supercomputer for Argonne National Laboratory.
