Deutsche Bank in AI Partnership with NVIDIA: Risk Models, HPC and a 3D Virtual Avatar

Deutsche Bank today announced a multi-year partnership with NVIDIA intended to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the financial services sector. The goal is to develop regulatory-compliant AI-powered services and support, for example, Deutsche Bank’s cloud transformation strategy by using AI and ML to simplify and accelerate cloud migration decisions. The […]

At SC22: One Stop Systems’ Jim Ison on ‘AI Transportable’ Liquid Cooled HPC at the Edge

One Stop Systems’ veteran Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Jim Ison talked with us at SC22 about OSS’s unque HPC-class hardware that supports “AI Transportable” applications. These are ruggedized AI workloads at the edge — and by edge, OSS means outside of a data center: in a car or truck, a military vehicle, an aircraft […]

SC22: CXL3.0, the Future of HPC Interconnects and Frontier vs. Fugaku

HPC luminary Jack Dongarra’s fascinating comments at SC22 on the low efficiency of leadership-class supercomputers highlighted by the latest High Performance Conjugate Gradients (HPCG) benchmark results will, I believe, influence the next generation of supercomputer architectures to optimize for sparse matrix computations. The upcoming technology that will help address this problem is CXL. Next generation architectures will use CXL3.0 switches to connect processing nodes, pooled memory and I/O resources into very large, coherent fabrics within a rack, and use Ethernet between racks. I call this a “Petalith” architecture (explanation below), and I think CXL will play a significant and growing role in shaping this emerging development in the high performance interconnect space.

AWS Announces Hpc7g EC2 Instance Powered by New Arm-based Graviton3E Chip
