You can’t be certain about a lot of things in the world these days, but one thing you can count on is the voracious appetite for parallel compute, high bandwidth memory, and high bandwidth networking for AI training workloads. …
There is increasing competition coming at Nvidia in the AI training and inference market, and at the same time, researchers at Google, Cerebras, and SambaNova are showing off the benefits of porting sections of traditional HPC simulation and modeling code to their matrix math engines, and Intel is probably not far behind with its Habana Gaudi chips. …
It has taken untold thousands of people to make machine learning, and specifically the deep learning variety, the most viable form of artificial intelligence. …
Normally, when we look at a system, we think from the compute engines at a very fine detail and then work our way out across the intricacies of the nodes and then the interconnect and software stack that scales it across the nodes into a distributed computing platform. …
