Nvidia wants for its latest “Pascal” GP100 generation of GPUs to be broadly adopted in the market, not just used in capability-class supercomputers that push the limits of performance for traditional HPC workloads as well as for emerging machine learning systems. …
This week at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC ’16) we are expecting a wave of vendors and high performance computing pros to blur the borders between traditional supercomputing and what is around the corner on the application front—artificial intelligence and machine learning. …
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. …
Training a machine learning algorithm to accurately solve complex problems requires large amounts of data. …
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. …
If you are trying to figure out what impact the new “Pascal” family of GPUs is going to have on the business at Nvidia, just take a gander at the recent financial results for the datacenter division of the company. …
Over the past few years, IBM has been devoting a great deal of corporate energy into developing Watson, the company’s Jeopardy-beating supercomputing platform. …
Pattern analytics, deep learning, and machine learning have fueled a rapid rise in interest in GPU computing, in addition to GPU computing applications in high performance computing (HPC) and cloud-based data analytics. …
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. …
The Power9 processor that IBM is working on in conjunction with hyperscale and HPC customers could be the most important chip that Big Blue has brought to market since the Power4 processor back in 2001. …
