The Hyperscale Effect: Tracking the Newest High-Growth IT Segment
Don’t just call it “the cloud.” Even if you think you know what cloud means, the word is fraught with too many different interpretations for too many people. …

While legacy monolithic applications will linger in virtual machines for an incredibly long time in the datacenter, new scale-out applications run best on new architectures. …
As we have noted over the last year in particular, GPUs are set for another tsunami of use cases for server workloads in high performance computing and most recently, machine learning. …
Over the last year, stories pointing to a bright future for deep neural networks and deep learning in general have proliferated. …
We have been convinced for many years that machine learning, the kind of artificial intelligence that actually works in practice, not in theory, would be a key element of the next platform. …
Nvidia made a lot of big bets to bring its “Pascal” GP100 GPU to market and its first implementation of the GPU is aimed at its Tesla P100 accelerator for radically improving the performance of massively parallel workloads like scientific simulations and machine learning algorithms. …
Deep learning could not have developed at the rapid pace it has over the last few years without companion work that has happened on the hardware side in high performance computing. …
Hyperscalers and cloud builders are different in a lot of ways from the typical enterprise IT shop. …
As a former research scientist at Google, Ian Goodfellow has had a direct hand in some of the more complex, promising frameworks set to power the future of deep learning in coming years. …
It is hard to find a more hyperbolic keynote title than, “A New Computing Model” but given the recent explosion in capabilities in both hardware and algorithms that have pushed deep learning to the fore, Nvidia’s CEO keynote at this morning’s GPU Technology Conference kickoff appears to be right on target. …
