US computer graphics giant Nvidia said Monday it is acquiring Israeli data center firm Mellanox for $6.9 billion, to expand its presence in the high performance computing segment. The combined firm will have the capacity to "optimize data center" performance for applications in cloud computing and artificial intelligence, according to a statement by the firms. "The emergence of AI and data science, as well as billions of simultaneous computer users, is fueling skyrocketing demand on the world's data centers," said Jensen Huang, founder and chief executive of California-based Nvidia. "Addressing this demand will require holistic architectures that connect vast numbers of fast computing nodes over intelligent networking fabrics to form a giant data center-scale compute engine." The all-cash deal is expected to close later this year subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. The deal will expand the offerings of Nvidia, which produces chips and other technologies for video games, facial recognition systems and autonomous vehicles. The companies have previously collaborated in building the world's two fastest supercomputers, Sierra and Summit, operated by the US Department of Energy. Eyal Waldman, co-founder and CEO of Mellanox, told a news conference in Tel Aviv he believes the tie-up can "build the future architecture of the future computing rooms." "Together we will be able to create much more efficient systems of computing, of connectivity and of storage," Waldman said. rl/jm
Graphene quantum dots for single electron transistors Moscow, Russia (SPX) Mar 08, 2019 Scientists from the Higher School of Economics, Manchester Univesity, the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology have developed a novel technology, which combines the fabrication procedures of planar and vertical heterostructures in order to assemble graphene-based single-electron transistors of excellent quality. This technology could considerably expand the scope of research on two-dimensional materials by introducing a broader platfo ... read more
