In this video from the World Medical Innovation Forum, Jensen Huang from NVIDIA discusses the revolution of AI and Medicine with Keith Dreyer, Chief Data Science Officer at PHS. “Medical imaging researchers have discovered the power of deep learning. Half of the papers presented at last year’s MICCAI, the leading medical imaging conference, applied deep learning. We’re working with over 300 healthcare startups tackling challenges now possible with deep learning.”

April 24, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Today HPE announced a new supercomputer installation at KU Leuven, a Flemish research university consistently ranked as one of the five most innovative universities in the world. HPE collaborated with KU Leuven to develop and deploy Genius, a new supercomputer built to run artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. The system will be available to both academia and the industry to build applications that drive scientific breakthroughs, economic growth and innovation in Flanders, the northern region of Belgium.
Why UIUC Built HPC Application Containers for NVIDIA GPU Cloud
April 20, 2018 by Leave a Comment
In this video from the GPU Technology Conference, John Stone from the University of Illinois describes how container technology in the NVIDIA GPU Cloud help the University distribute accelerated applications for science and engineering. “Containers are a way of packaging up an application and all of its dependencies in such a way that you can install them collectively on a cloud instance or a workstation or a compute node. And it doesn’t require the typical amount of system administration skills and involvement to put one of these containers on a machine.”
Altair Steps up to Azure Cloud with Inspire Unlimited
April 15, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Altair software is now part of the Inspire Unlimited software-as-a-service offering available on the Azure cloud. “Unlike the HyperWorks Unlimited Appliance, where performance is based on the number of nodes, Inspire’s scale requirements are based on the number of simultaneous users; there could be 1,000 engineers working together at a time,” says Sam Mahalingam from Altair. “We felt that the HPC environment in Azure was architected to meet the type of back-end requirements we needed for Inspire.” Altair uses Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines, with NV instances powered by NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPUs.
Using Ai to detect Gravitational Waves with the Blue Waters Supercomputer
April 14, 2018 by Leave a Comment
NASA researchers are using AI technologies to detect gravitational waves. The work is described in a new article in Physics Review D this month. “This article shows that we can automatically detect and group together noise anomalies in data from the LIGO detectors by using artificial intelligence algorithms based on neural networks that were already pre-trained to classify images of real-world objects,” said research scientist, Eliu Huerta.
Video: The Convergence of HPC and Deep Learning
April 11, 2018 by 2 Comments
Axel Koehler from NVIDIA gave this talk at the Switzerland HPC Conference. “The technology originally developed for HPC has enabled deep learning, and deep learning is enabling many usages in science. Deep learning is also helping deliver real-time results with models that used to take days or months to simulate. The presentation will give an overview about the latest hard- and software developments for HPC and Deep Learning from NVIDIA and will show some examples that Deep Learning can be combined with traditional large scale simulations.”
