Hewlett Packard Enterprise will send to the International Space Station a commercial off-the-shelf supercomputer as part of an ISS National Laboratory-sponsored experiment meant to further assess high-performance computing in space and improve research capabilities on the orbiting lab. The updated HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 is based on HPE ProLiant and EdgeLine servers and is expected to launch no later than Jan. 29 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida as part of Northrop Grumman’s 20th commercial resupply services mission to the ISS, the national lab said Tuesday.

A team of researchers at IBM Research's laboratory in Almaden, California, has developed a brain-inspired chip, called NorthPole, that could pave the way for the development of more energy-efficient and faster artificial intelligence hardware systems. Dharmendra Modha and his colleagues from IBM Research used a 12-nanometer node processing technology to develop the chip prototype, which has 22 billion transistors and 256 cores with the capability to carry out 2,048 operations for each core per cycle at 8-bit precision, according to an IBM Research blog post published Friday.

Experts say shadow artificial intelligence systems are increasingly being deployed in organizations, exposing them to security, legal and financial risks, according to an article in Information Week. Such AI programs emerge when well-intentioned software engineers try out programs without the authorization of management. They often end up being part of processes without oversight.

Cloud security firm Zscaler teamed up with Intel to develop a novel approach that combines confidential computing and zero trust architecture to protect multiple cloud environments from cyber threats. The technique makes use of Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange and App Connector platforms and the Intel Trust Authority suite, Ken Urquhart, Zscaler’s global vice president of […] More
Los Alamos National Laboratory is in the process of testing Crossroads, the successor to a high-performance computing machine used by the National Nuclear Security Administration to monitor U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. The Hewlett Packard Enterprise-built system will replace the aging Trinity supercomputer as part of NNSA’s continuous upgrades to support large data sets for stockpile […] More
Los Alamos National Laboratory is in the process of testing Crossroads, the successor to a supercomputer used by the National Nuclear Security Administration to monitor U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. The Hewlett Packard Enterprise-built Crossroads will replace Trinity, the first platform under NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing Program, as part of continuous upgrades to support large data sets for stockpile simulation and computation.

Tommy Gardner, chief technology officer of HP Federal, said government agencies looking to improve customer experience should not only change their mindset but also consider budget, GovLoop reported Tuesday. “Customer experience is defined by money as most experiences are,” said Gardner, a key member of Executive Mosaic’s GovCon Expert program. “Most organizations have more unacceptable risk […] More
A U.S. Army research and development center has tapped Hewlett Packard Enterprise to help the Department of Defense modernize the high performance computing capabilities of its laboratories. HPE was awarded a $26.5 million firm-fixed-price contract from the Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center for HPC Modernization Program support over a 70-month performance […] More
Intel, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the Department of Energy have finished the installation of 10,624 compute blades into the Aurora exascale supercomputer at DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. Aurora uses the HPE Slingshot high-performance fabric and comes with 1,024 storage nodes designed to provide 220 petabytes of capacity, Intel said Thursday. The supercomputer is […] More
Flashpoint’s government arm has named four national security leaders to its newly created advisory board tasked with providing strategic guidance, industry insights and perspectives to help expand its presence in the public sector and support government missions. Brian Brown, president of Flashpoint National Security Solutions, said in a statement published Tuesday the expertise and guidance […] More
Tommy Gardner, chief technology officer of HP Federal, said information technology organizations should advance the development of a proactive defense to prevent an IT mistake from leading to an “error string” or a cascade of errors, InformationWeek reported Wednesday. “IT teams should think through multiple problems at once, understand the limits and constraints of their […] More
