If there is one thing that is absolutely immune from inflationary curbs and that is, to a certain degree, also contributing to inflationary pressures in the global economy, it is generative AI. …
Other than Hewlett Packard Enterprise, who wants to build the future NERSC-10 supercomputer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory or the future OLCF-6 system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory? …
One of the reasons why we have been watching Nutanix since it dropped out of stealth mode in August 2011, two years after being founded, because we had a hunch that the upstart maker of a server-storage half-blood than banned the SAN from the datacenter would transform itself into a platform. …
There is something about late September. Nvidia was founded 30 years ago on Tuesday this week, Google was founded 25 years ago on Wednesday, and Supermicro was founded 30 years ago today. …
SPONSORED FEATURE: There are a lot of pressures on the datacenter network these days just to deal with expanding data and the increasing use of microservices architectures for modern applications. …
We said it from the beginning: There is no way that Meta Platforms, the originator of the Open Compute Project, wanted to buy a complete supercomputer system from Nvidia in order to advance its AI research and move newer large language models and recommendation engines into production. …
It takes big money as well as big ideas to compete in the generative AI space. …
Based on what Intel has been saying for the past several weeks in various events, but especially the Hot Chips 2023 a few weeks ago and the more recent Intel Innovation 2023 extravaganza, the company’s foundry process roadmap and its server processor roadmaps are going to align harmoniously to make the Xeon SP family of CPUs more competitive next year. …
If you have the entire corpus of the Internet scrubbed of nonsense plus whatever else you can scrounge up in whatever language all put into the right format so you can chew on that data one token at a time with trillions of parameters of interconnections between those tokens to build a large language model for generative AI applications, you have an enormous problem. …
Sometimes, especially with Intel in the past several years, the fact that the CPU roadmap doesn’t change is the news. …
