The results of a recent survey commissioned by Dell and executed by Forrester summarized in this white paper, “A Checklist For Artificial Intelligence On Workstations,” have indicated a quarter of firms are actually using workstations today to run core AI business applications and are experiencing the benefits that workstations can offer. Workstations can handle core AI functionality like pre-trained vertical solutions, image and video analysis, data science, and natural language generation. They do so for applications where data security is a priority but where timelines are more flexible, or cost is a greater consideration compared with running these workloads in data centers or in the public cloud.

In this technology guide sponsored by our friends over at Dell Technologies, we take a deep dive into how the team of Dell Technologies and AMD is working to provide solutions for a wide array of needs for more strategic cultivation of oil and gas energy reserves. We’ll explore how the dynamic confluence of HPC and AI is now considered essential to any organization involved in energy exploration and the process of bringing the resulting energy resources to market.
Using Workstations To Reshape Your Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure
November 2, 2020 by Leave a Comment
The study results summarized in this white paper show that firms are already using workstations to lower the cost, increase the security, and speed up their AI infrastructure. The addition of workstations into a firms AI workflow allows servers and cloud platforms to be tasked with business cases that require more robust computing while workstations take on tasks with longer time frames and smaller budgets.
A Checklist For Artificial Intelligence On Workstations
November 2, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Firms of all sizes are leveraging workstations as part of their artificial intelligence (AI) workflows. In the past, many firms relied on highly-scaled servers in data centers or private/public cloud infrastructure to run their AI applications. However, the results of a recent survey commissioned by Dell and executed by Forrester summarized in this white paper have indicated a quarter of firms are actually using workstations today to run core AI business applications and are experiencing the benefits that workstations can offer.
insideHPC Guide to AI and HPC in Media & Entertainment
November 2, 2020 by
In this white paper sponsored by our friends over at Dell Technologies, we take a look at AI and HPC in Media & Entertainment where an increasing demand for digital media content creates need for faster rendering options. The ongoing increase in the use of visual effects (VFX) and computer-generated imagery (CGI) and animation in digital content media creation for television, movies, and streaming services has accelerated the amount of material that requires rendering, from a workstation to a data center render farm environment.

In this technology guide, we take a deep dive into how the team of Dell Technologies and AMD is working to provide solutions for a wide array of needs for more strategic cultivation of oil and gas energy reserves. We’ll start with a series of compelling use-case examples, and then introduce a number of important pain-points solved with HPC and AI. We’ll continue with some specific solutions for the energy industry by Dell and AMD. Then we’ll take a look at a case study examining how geophysical services and equipment company CGG successfully deployed HPC technology for competitive advantage. Finally, we’ll leave you with a short-list of valuable resources available from Dell to help guide you along the path with HPC and AI.

Where Have You Gone, IBM?
October 15, 2020 by
The company that built the world’s nos. 2 and 3 most powerful supercomputers is to all appearances backing away from the supercomputer systems business. IBM, whose Summit and Sierra CORAL-1 systems set the global standard for pre-exascale supercomputing, failed to win any of the three exascale contracts, and since then IBM has seemingly withdrawn from the HPC systems field. This has been widely discussed within the HPC community for at least the last 18 months. In fact, an industry analyst told us that as long ago as the annual ISC Conference in Frankfurt four years ago, he was shocked when IBM told him the company was no longer interested in the HPC business per se….
The Dell Technologies HPC Community Interviews: Dell HPC Leader Thierry Pellegrino Talks Collaborative Inspiration and Why ‘the Whole World Is Morphing into HPC’
October 13, 2020 by
Thierry Pellegrino is vice president and general manager of HPC at Dell Technologies, putting him in a leadership position of a vendor whose servers are used in some of the world’s most powerful HPC clusters. In this interview, Pellegrino explains Dell’s three-pronged HPC strategy (“democratize, optimize, advance HPC and AI”). He also talks about how […]
Why HPC and AI Workloads are Moving to the Cloud
October 12, 2020 by
This sponsored post from our friends over at Dell Technologies discusses a study by Hyperion Research finds that approximately 20 percent of HPC workloads are now running in the public cloud. There are many good reasons for this trend.
