The data-heavy medical field has long been seen as fertile ground for artificial intelligence (AI), where machine learning and deep learning techniques could crunch through mountains of data to drive everything from research to personalized medicine. …
There are a lot of different kinds of machine learning, and some of them are not based exclusively on deep neural networks that learn from tagged text, audio, image, and video data to analyze and sometimes transpose that data into a different form. …
When it comes to machine learning, a lot of the attention in the past six years has focused on the training of neural networks and how the GPU accelerator radically improved the accuracy of networks, thanks to its large memory bandwidth and parallel compute capacity relative to CPUs. …
Moore’s Law is effectively boosting compute capability by a factor of ten over a five year span, as Nvidia co-founder and chief executive officer Jensen Huang reminded Wall Street this week when talking about the graphics chip maker’s second quarter of fiscal 2019 financial results. …
If there is anything the hyperscalers have taught us, it is the value of homogeneity and scale in an enterprise. …
The irony, of course, is that there is never a summit when it comes to supercomputing. …
Pathology laboratories are big data environments. However, these big data are often hidden behind expert humans who manually and with great care visually parse large complex and detailed datasets to provide critical diagnoses. …
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center is one of the flagship HPC facilities in Europe and it arguably has the most elegant and spiritual of datacenters in the world, located inside of Torre Girona Chapel. …
Nvidia got a little taste of hardware, and the company’s top brass have decided that they like having a lot of iron in their financial diet. …
Even if Nvidia had not pursued a GPU compute strategy in the datacenter a decade and a half ago, the company would have turned in one of the best periods in its history as the first quarter of fiscal 2019 came to a close on April 29. …
