Cerebras, Databricks Stoke Generative AI Arena with Open Source LLMs

In few other areas of the global economy are the rounds of creative destruction more rapid and more intense than the HPC-AI sector. We see this today with the generative AI sensation: OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in November has created a firestorm of competitive responses. At least two companies – Cerebras, maker of the dinner-plate […]

insideHPC-Hyperion Research Interview: Argonne’s Rick Stevens on the Future of Everything – U.S. Post-Exascale Strategy, AI for Science, HPC in 2040 and an Aurora Install Update

In this interview conducted on behalf of HPC analyst firm Hyperion Research, we spoke with Argonne National Laboratory’s Rick Stevens about the present and future of HPC. The starting point for this conversation is a presentation Stevens gave at a Hyperion event in Washington related to implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act and includes his insights on the post-exascale build-out of an integrated network of U.S. supercomputing capacity (the Integrated Research Infrastructure, or IRI). We then look at AI for science and the use of data-driven modeling and simulation, which shows the potential to deliver major performance gains for researchers….

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.
