With Blackwell GPUs, AI Gets Cheaper And Easier, Competing With Nvidia Gets Harder
If you want to take on Nvidia on its home turf of AI processing, then you had better bring more than your A game. …

Spoiler alert!
A lot of neat things have just been added to the Arm Neoverse datacenter compute roadmap, but one of them is not a datacenter-class, discrete GPU accelerator. …
Since the advent of distributed computing, there has been a tension between the tight coherency of memory and its compute within a node – the base level of a unit of compute – and the looser coherency over the network across those nodes. …
A year ago, at its Google I/O 2022 event, Google revealed to the world that it had eight pods of TPUv4 accelerators, with a combined 32,768 of its fourth generation, homegrown matrix math accelerators, running in a machine learning hub located in its Mayes County, Oklahoma datacenter. …
Two decades ago, all the chip makers, including Intel, had to buy Unix machines, usually massive ranks of Sparc/Solaris systems, to do electronic design automation to design and test their chip designs. …
It seems like we have been talking about Google’s TPUv4 machine learning accelerators for a long time, and that is because we have been. …
It was absolutely inevitable that China would try to create its own GPU compute engines. …
Not all cloud providers are the same, and even among the three cloud giants – Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud – there is some measure of differentiation. …
Nvidia is not the only company that has created specialized compute units that are good at the matrix math and tensor processing that underpins AI training and that can be repurposed to run AI inference. …
With each passing generation of GPU accelerator engines from Nvidia, machine learning drives more and more of the architectural choices and changes and traditional HPC simulation and modeling drives less and less. …
