Bare metal boom: On-prem server sales for HPC and AI up 20% this year

Enterprise purchases of on-premises servers dedicated to high-performance computing and artificial intelligence have risen by a fifth over the past year. However, analysts note that the revenue expansion reflects rising hardware expenses alongside physical shipment growth as organisations maintain dedicated local infrastructure.

Inside a Turbulent Vortex: How Supercomputing Reveals the Hidden Physics of Flow

Advanced supercomputing platforms are being deployed to address fundamental mathematical challenges in fluid dynamics that have endured for centuries. Scientific investigators, including artificial intelligence research lab OpenAI, are utilising massive computational resources to investigate the behaviour and smoothness of flows governed by the Navier–Stokes equations. These simulations demonstrate the expanding role of high-performance compute in resolving core problems within mathematical physics.

Google hasn’t figured out how to make AI pay like its search engine

Alphabet recorded a deceleration in Search revenue expansion to 12 per cent year-on-year in the third quarter, down from 17 per cent in the prior quarter, despite user queries expanding at their quickest pace in five years. The disparity highlights ongoing commercial difficulties in converting increased artificial intelligence search engagement into advertising returns comparable to traditional models.

Disgruntled software developers start ambitious open-source revolt, using AI to clone common services — OccupySaaS AI-powered project wants to kick Auth0, Salesforce, and other pricy service-as-software to the curb

Software engineers have launched OccupySaaS, an open-source initiative that uses artificial intelligence to replicate popular enterprise software platforms. The community aims to provide alternatives to high-cost proprietary systems including Auth0 and Salesforce. The effort seeks to disrupt traditional software-as-a-service pricing models by lowering development barriers via automated code generation.
