[SPONSORED GUEST ARTICLE] High performance computing (HPC) systems run workloads to perform complex calculations to get answers to some of humanity’s toughest questions. The output from these calculations can result in game changing and life saving measures. HPC systems are used in ….
Our friends over at Graphcore, the U.K.-based startup that launched the Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) for AI acceleration in 2018, has released a new whitepaper introducing the IPU-Machine. This second-generation platform has greater processing power, more memory and built-in scalability for handling extremely large parallel processing workloads. This paper will explores the new platform and assess its strengths and weaknesses compared to the growing cadre of potential competitors.
