EMSNOW learns about trends in the high performance computing end market from Kevin Arvidson, CTO, White Horse Laboratories. This eye-opening conversation reveals an inside look at what’s behind the memory and flash shortages that are becoming the latest supply chain disruption. Two years ago White Horse Laboratories launched an initiative focused on the hardware and software issues coming from the global AI investment explosion. The hyperscalers are driving demand for massive build-out in data centers, which Kevin explains has had unexpected consequences for the whole industry. He succinctly explains in this video what those impacts have been, and what the future holds at both a micro and macro level for high performance computing. They discuss the pain points he is seeing, including the cybersecurity issues in board design and test, the impact of emerging technologies like quantum computing, the drivers of these memory shortages and how long they are expected to last, and how White Horse is helping customers address them.
