One of the reasons why Nvidia has been able to quadruple revenues for its Tesla accelerators in recent quarters is that it doesn’t just sell raw accelerators as well as PCI-Express cards, but has become a system vendor in its own right through its DGX-1 server line. …
It is funny to think that Advanced Micro Devices has been around almost as long as the IBM System/360 mainframe and that it has been around since the United States landed people on the moon. …
We are still chewing through all of the announcements and talk at the GPU Technology Conference that Nvidia hosted in its San Jose stomping grounds last week, and as such we are thinking about the much bigger role that graphics processors are playing in datacenter compute – a realm that has seen five decades of dominance by central processors of one form or another. …
Graphics chip maker Nvidia has taken more than a year and carefully and methodically transformed its GPUs into the compute engines for modern HPC, machine learning, and database workloads. …
Moving data is the biggest problem in computing, and probably has been since there was data processing if we really want to be honest about it. …
The last two years have delivered a new wave of deep learning architectures designed specifically for tackling both training and inference sides of neural networks. …
While it is always best to have the right tool for the job, it is better still if a tool can be used by multiple jobs and therefore have its utilization be higher than it might otherwise be. …
Energy efficiency and operating costs for systems are as important as raw performance in today’s datacenters. …
If any new hardware technology is going to get traction in the datacenter, it has to have the software behind it. …
