AWS and Intel Announce Gaudi (Habana)-based EC2 Instances for AI Training
December 1, 2020 by Leave a Comment
As customer validations go, it’s safe to say AWS is at the – *cough* – high end of any vendor’s wish list. So it’s understandable Intel is crowing today about a notable win for Gaudi AI accelerators from Habana Labs, an Intel company. At the public cloud industry leader’s virtual re:Invent conference, AWS announced EC2 […]

In this insideHPC technology guide, “insideHPC Guide to QCT Platform-on-Demand Designed for Converged Workloads,”as we’ll see, by relying on open source software and the latest high performance/low cost system architectures, it is possible to build scalable hybrid on-premises solutions that satisfy the needs of converged HPC/AI workloads while being robust and easily manageable.
Why Developers are Turning to Ultra-powerful Workstations for More Creative Freedom at Less Cost
November 27, 2020 by Leave a Comment
This white paper, “Why Developers are Turning to Ultra-powerful Workstations for More Creative Freedom at Less Cost,” from Dell Technologies discusses why developers are turning to ultra-powerful workstations for more creative freedom at less cost. Research shows that large and small companies alike are using powerful workstations with even more powerful graphic processing units (GPUs) as integral parts of their artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Virtual SC20 Retrospective: Thinkers’ Thoughts on HPC Today and Tomorrow
November 25, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Check out this assemblages’ reflections on last week’s virtual SC20. Their thoughts range from big-picture insights on how the event reflects the state of HPC to the keynotes, sessions and announcements they think were particularly notable (and worth going back and watching, if you missed them). Among the topics covered: The convergence of the Top500 and Green500 supercomputer lists, the emerging earmarks of machine learning HPC workloads and the validity of supercomputing predictions made at SC in 2006 over against predictions for 2035.

This white paper, “Using AI to See What Eye Doctors Can’t,” explains how Voxeleron, a leader in delivering advanced ophthalmic image analysis and machine learning solutions, is extending ophthalmology’s diagnostic horizons with image analysis based on artificial intelligence (AI) models, trained using Dell Precision workstations with NVIDIA GPUs.
NETL, Cerebras Claim CFD Milestone
November 20, 2020 by Leave a Comment
A collaboration between DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory and Cerebras Systems, maker of the CS-1 deep learning compute system, has demonstrated that CS-1 could perform a key computational fluid dynamics (CFD) workload more than 200 times faster and at a fraction of the power consumption than the same workload on an optimized number of cores […]
The Top Five Trends Driving the Need for New HPC/AI System Architectures
November 20, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Earlier this month Ayar Labs hosted a webinar on the topic of “Disaggregated System Architectures for Next Generation HPC and AI Workloads,” discussing the need for new architecture and the approaches that are being taken to bring new levels of power, efficiency, and composability to building the supercomputers, and eventually all computing systems of the future. Here are the top five trends that were discussed during the webinar driving the need for new HPC architectures.
