Inside Intel’s Strategy to Integrate Nervana Deep Learning Assets
There is little doubt that 2017 will be a dense year for deep learning. …
There is little doubt that 2017 will be a dense year for deep learning. …
In Supercomputing Conference (SC) years past, chipmaker Intel has always come forth with a strong story, either as an enabling processor or co-processor force, or more recently, as a prime contractor for a leading-class national lab supercomputer. …
Deep learning and machine learning are major themes at this year’s annual Supercomputing Conference (SC16), both in terms of vendors showcasing systems that are a fit for both high performance computing and machine learning, and in the revelation of new efforts to combine traditional simulations with neural networks for greater efficiency and insight. …
Chip maker Nvidia was founded by people who loved gaming and who wanted to make better 3D graphics cards, and decades later, the company has become a force in computing, first in HPC and then in machine learning and now database acceleration. …
Moore’s Law may be slowing down performance increases in compute capacity, but InfiniBand networking did not get the memo. …
In the course of this three-part series on the challenges and opportunities for enterprise machine learning, we have worked to define the landscape and ecosystem for these workloads in large-scale business settings and have taken an in-depth look at some of the roadblocks on the path to more mainstream machine learning applications. …
What is good for the simulation and the machine learning is, as it turns out, also good for the database. …
The very first systems that allow for GPUs to be hooked directly to CPUs using Nvidia’s NVLink high-speed interconnect are coming to market now that Big Blue is updating its Power Systems LC line of Linux-based systems with the help of hardware partners in the OpenPower Foundation collective. …
Intel has planted some solid stakes in the ground for the future of deep learning over the last month with its acquisition of deep learning chip startup, Nervana Systems, and most recently, mobile and embedded machine learning company, Movidius. …
It is a coincidence, but one laden with meaning, that Nvidia is setting new highs selling graphics processors at the same time that SGI, one of the early innovators in the fields of graphics and supercomputing, is being acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. …
