Back in the day, when the AI revolution was young, Nvidia co-founder and chief executive officer used to make the rounds with each new generation of datacenter GPUs and provide the first DGX systems based on any particular GPU to marquee customers. Sam Altman and Elon Musk, co-founders of OpenAI, …
To a certain extent, all of the major HPC centers in the world live in the future. Before a teraflops, petaflops, or exaflops supercomputer is even operational, a new team at the center is hard at work defining what the workloads five years from now might look like so they …
COMMISSIONED: As the world becomes more data-driven, the landscape of safety and security is evolving in remarkable ways. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is transforming how organizations manage mission-critical infrastructure, from video surveillance systems to real-time data analysis. At the heart of this transformation lies an important shift: a growing emphasis …
The AI boom is going sonic, and it looks like we had all better cover our ears if we want to be able to hear by the end of the holiday season if the prognostications of the box counters at IDC are correct. IDC has juts tallied up datacenter spending …
Over the past two years, enterprises have tried to keep up with the staggering pace of the innovation with generative AI, mapping out ways to implement the emerging technology into their operations in hopes of saving time and money, increasing productivity, improving customer service and support, and driving efficiencies. However, …
Waferscale compute engine and AI system maker Cerebras Systems has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to sell a chunk of itself to the public, giving we outsiders a view of the past two and a half years of its internal financials. Those financials reveal how much Cerebras …
No one like the R word, but we don’t shy away from data and calling it like we see it. And from what we can see from the most recent market research coming out of IDC, the Ethernet switch market has been in recession for two quarters now and very …

Intel recently demonstrated a new type of DIMM memory technology called Multiplexer Combined Rank (MCR), also referred to as MRDIMMs, that provides up to 2.3X better performance for HPC workloads and up to a 2X better on AI inference workloads in comparison to 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, based on …
SPONSORED POST: The 2024 edition of Lenovo Tech World promises an in-depth discussion on the future of innovation centered on AI and computing. The event is scheduled for October 15th, and visitors can either attend in person in Bellevue, WA in the US or sign up to stream and watch …
Like many a decade ago, we were enthusiastic about the prospect of triple-hybrid systems in the datacenter. We were convinced that there was a place for CPUs, for GPUs, and for FPGAs in complex and high performance systems because each of these devices were really good at different things and …
COMMISSIONED: Robust data governance is key to ethical, compliant, and efficient AI projects. Here’s why the balance between innovation and responsibility is delicate, but crucial. In a bustling New York office, a data scientist named Emily is racing against the clock. Her team is developing an AI algorithm intended to revolutionize …
You know what the hardest thing about building an AI system is? No, it is not getting your hands on GPUs to do processing, and no it is not getting the budget together to do a GenAI project. If you can’t convince your company to spend at least a little …
UPDATED: Intel has been talking about its “Granite Rapids” Xeon 6 processors for so long that it would be easy to forget that they have not yet been formally announced. But today, the high end of the “Granite Rapids” server CPU lineup makes its debut, several weeks before AMD is …
Neither scientific progress nor the budgetary process can wait for compute engine and interconnect roadmaps. At some point, an HPC center is at a cadence for upgrading its supercomputers that is difficult to change, and you get the best supercomputer you can get at any time and you try not …
When you need to provide electricity to power and cool 100,000 accelerators, or maybe even 1 million of them in a few years, in a single location to run an AI model, you have to start thinking about the unthinkable if you also want to use carbon-free juice to power …
UPDATED With its Graviton 4 homegrown Graviton 4 Arm server processors, Amazon Web Services has put into the field a CPU that can compete with all but the toppest of bin parts from AMD for X86 CPUs and Ampere Computing and Nvidia for Arm CPUs, and it is driving price/performance …
