OpenVINO is a single toolkit, optimized for Intel hardware, that the data scientist and AI software developer can use for quickly developing high-performance applications that employ neural network inference and deep learning to emulate human vision over various platforms. “This toolkit supports heterogeneous execution across CPUs and computer vision accelerators including GPUs, Intel® Movidius™ hardware, and FPGAs.”
Plug and Play Liquid Cooling for AI and HPC
November 29, 2018 by
Cutting edge AI and HPC clusters require the highest performance versions of the latest CPUs and GPUs. Coming along with the throughput, these components bring high heat loads. Often, liquid cooling becomes a requirement in these circumstances. This sponsored post from Asetek explores how increasing AI and HPC workloads, as well as accompanying components like CPUs and GPUs, are heating up computing and bringing liquid cooling to the forefront.
HPC and AI Convergence Take Center Stage for Intel at SC18
November 1, 2018 by
Intel has Big Plans at SC18 later this month, many of which are focused on HPC and AI convergence, and the intersections between these two sectors. “HPC is expanding beyond its traditional role of modeling and simulation to encompass visualization, analytics, and machine learning. Intel scientists and engineers will be available to discuss how to implement AI capabilities into your current HPC environments and demo how new, more powerful HPC platforms can be applied to meet your computational needs now and in the future.”
How to Control the AI Tsunami
October 29, 2018 by
Clients tell us there is a wide range of users beyond data scientists that want to get in on the AI action as well, so we recently updated LiCO with new “Lenovo Accelerated AI” training and inference templates. These templates allow users to simply bring their dataset into LiCO and request cluster resources to train models and run inference without coding.”
