The Engine Of HPC And Machine Learning

February 28, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan Comments Off

There is no question right now that if you have a big computing job in either high performance computing – the colloquial name for traditional massively parallel simulation and modeling applications – or in machine learning – the set of statistical analysis routines with feedback loops that can do identification and transformation tasks that used to be solely the realm of humans – then an Nvidia GPU accelerator is the engine of choice to run that work at the best efficiency. …

Just How Large Can Nvidia’s Datacenter Business Grow?

February 9, 2018 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

The combination of the excitement for new video games, the machine learning software revolution, the buildout of very large supercomputers based on hybrid CPU-GPU architectures, and the mining of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have combined into a quadruple whammy that is driving Nvidia to new heights for revenues, profits, and market capitalization. …

AI Will Not Be Taking Away Code Jobs Anytime Soon

February 5, 2018 Nicole Hemsoth Prickett Comments Off

There has been much recent talk about the near future of code writing itself with the help of trained neural networks but outside of some limited use cases, that reality is still quite some time away—at least for ordinary development efforts. …
