In this video from ISC 2018, Takeo Hosomi from NEC describes how vector computing can accelerate Machine Learning workloads. “Machine learning is the key technology for data analytics and artificial intelligence. Recent progress in this field opens opportunities for a wide variety of new applications. Our department has been at the forefront of developments in such areas as deep learning, support vector machines and semantic analysis for over a decade. Many of our technologies have been integrated in innovative products and services of NEC.”
Why the World is Starting to look like a Giant HPC Cluster

“AI, machine learning, is not a (traditional) HPC workload. However, it takes an HPC machine to do it. If you look at HPC, generally, you take a model or things like that, you turn it into an extraordinarily large amount of data, and then you go find some information for that data. Machine learning, on the other hand, takes an extraordinarily large amount of information and collapses it into an idea or a model.”
Enhancing Diagnostic Quality and Productivity with AI
This report delves into many advances in clinical imaging being introduced through AI. The activity today is mostly focused on working with the current computational environment that exists in the radiologist’s laboratory, and examines how advanced medical instruments and software solutions that incorporate AI can augment a radiologist’s work. Download the new white paper from NVIDIA that explores increasing productivity with AI and how tools like deep learning can enhance offerings and cut down on cost.
