SC18 Preview: Bryan Catanzaro on “Applying Deep Learning”
August 3, 2018 by Leave a Comment
SC18 is starting their series of Invited Talk Previews this week with AI luminary Bryan Catanzaro. Now at NVIDIA, Catanzaro is one of the most respected (and entertaining) speakers in the field of Machine Learning. “I will discuss how we go about applying deep learning to our work at NVIDIA, solving problems in a variety of domains from graphics and vision to text and speech. I’ll discuss the properties of successful machine learning applications, the criteria that we use to choose projects, and things to watch out for while creating new deep learning applications. I’ll discuss the role of HPC in helping us conduct our research, and I’ll show some examples of projects that benefit from scale.”
How Red Hat Powers the #1 Summit Supercomputer
August 3, 2018 by Leave a Comment
In this video from ISC 2018, Yan Fisher from Red Hat and Buddy Bland from ORNL discuss Summit, the world’s fastest supercomputer. Red Hat teamed with IBM, Mellanox, and NVIDIA to provide users with a new level of performance for HPC and AI workloads. ”
But the rapid innovation showcased by Summit must be consumable, and that’s where Red Hat Enterprise Linux comes in. Despite the scale, processing capability, and “intelligence” of Summit’s composition, end users interact with something they understand: Linux, in the form of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform. Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a common, stable basis that ties together all of this innovation.”

vScaler unlocks the benefits of Virtualization for GPU Power Users
August 1, 2018 by Leave a Comment
vScaler has rolled-out native Virtual GPU (vGPU), empowering customers with the ability to split a single physical GPU up in to a number of smaller virtual GPUs. This approach offers greater cost-efficiency for those that don’t require the full power of a dedicated GPU. “With support for containerized environments such as Docker and Kubernetes, and the recent addition of vGPU support, vScaler speeds-up and simplifies the large scale deployments of GPU-accelerated applications.”
Dell EMC Gains Momentum on HPC & AI at ISC 2018
July 31, 2018 by Leave a Comment
In this video from ISC 2018, Thierry Pelligrino from Dell EMC describes how the company is moving forward with HPC and AI solutions for customers in science, engineering, and the Enterprise. “HPC is great practice. AI is the buzzword. But the two need to come together. You can’t really get value out of your data if you don’t know how to use the highest performing computing cycles. You also need to think about how you use the data in storage and how you make it move around with a lot of networking gear.”
