At SC19, ScaleMatrix and its DDC subsidiary announced that it is collaborating with NVIDIA and Microway to deliver SKUs for an 8 petaFLOPS and a 13 petaFLOPS ‘Supercomputer Anywhere’ solution using its DDC S-Series cabinets.
DDC Cabinet Technology, purpose built for scaling dense computing, enables a modular ‘deploy anywhere at any scale’ approach to computing through its S-Series platform, a pressurized ‘clean room quality’ air conditioning system combined with a closed-loop, water-chilled liquid cooling system, all encased in a ruggedized cabinet complete with biometric security, air filtration, and fire suppression capabilities. The modular S-Series cabinets can be erected anywhere power and a roof exists.”
How Deep Learning is Driving New Science
November 22, 2019 by Leave a Comment
In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World looks at the development of deep learning and its impact on scientific applications. “In general, it depends on the use case but you can think of two cases where AI is useful. The first case is to solve problems that are hard to solve in a rule-based way, which is a similar domain as you may have outside science for speech recognition or image recognition.”
