Waferscale Makes Further AI Supercomputing Inroads
The battle for HPC centers and national labs is underway among the leading AI chip startups in the high-end datacenter space (Graphcore, Cerebras, and SambaNova in particular). …
The battle for HPC centers and national labs is underway among the leading AI chip startups in the high-end datacenter space (Graphcore, Cerebras, and SambaNova in particular). …
…With performance comparable to the Nvidia V100 GPU, a common accelerator in HPC but better energy consumption numbers and memory bandwidth potential, Graphcore can turn heads in supercomputing.
The HPC world, particularly in the U.S. is waiting for the next series of transitions to far larger machines with exascale capabilities. …
The long-held skepticism around wafer-scale architectures is deep and goes back decades. …
The Department of Energy has formed a partnership between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and AI chip startup, SambaNova to deliver systems with acceleration for AI and HPC workloads. …
If you are fairly new to the IT racket, you might be under the impression that the waves of integration and disaggregation in compute, networking, and storage that swept over the datacenter in recent decades were all new, that somehow the issues of complexity and cost did not plague systems of the past. …
Few of the AI hardware startups that have made it through the first round of reality (roughly 2016 until the present) have managed to navigate the choppy waters without shifting course, sometimes wildly. …
Thanks for tuning into Next Platform TV for today, July 1. …
One reason we’re watching Lawrence Livermore National Lab closely is because they are at the forefront when it comes to blending emerging HPC, deep learning, and edge technologies for applications that are representative of what’s next. …
The Next AI Platform is going virtual for 2020.
This was, of course, not the plan. …
