Google Launches AI Supercomputer Powered by Tens of Thousands of NVIDIA H100 GPUs

If a computer’s intelligence can be anthropomorphized, then an AI supercomputer that can scale to 26,000 GPUs (26 exaFLOPS AI throughput) is at the head of the class. That’s the case with Google’s new A3 GPU supercomputers for Google Cloud, introduced at the Google I/O 2023 conference. Google said A3 GPU VMs are designed to […]

Dell Announces Three Managed Services to Accelerate AI/ML Development and Deployment

May 4, 2023, Austin — Dell Technologies today announced three services designed for data scientists and programmers who develop and deploy AI/ML models but whose other tasks force them to spend relatively little of their time on coding models.

NVIDIA Claims ‘iPhone Moment of AI’ at GTC: Announces Raft of AI-related Chips, Systems and Services

Here’s a round-up of announcements delivered today at the opening of the NVIDIA GTC conference.
NVIDIA today announced what it said is a breakthrough that brings accelerated computing to the field of computational lithography that will set the foundation for 2nm chips “just as current production processes are nearing the limits of what physics makes possible,” NVIDIA said.

Running on GPUs, cuLitho delivers a performance boost of up to 40x beyond current lithography — the process of creating patterns on a silicon wafer — accelerating the massive computational workloads that currently consume tens of billions of CPU hours every year. NVIDIA said it enables 500 NVIDIA DGX H100 systems to achieve the work of 40,000 CPU systems, running all parts of the computational lithography process in parallel, helping reduce power needs and potential environmental impact.
