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. …
Imagine, if you will, that Nvidia had launched its forthcoming “Grace” Arm server CPU three years ago instead of early next year. …
There are a lot of things that compute engine makers have to do if they want to compete in the datacenter, but perhaps the most important thing is to be consistent. …
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. …
It is difficult not to be impatient for the technologies of the future, which is one reason that this publication is called The Next Platform. …
The golden grail of deep learning has two handles. On the one hand, developing and scaling systems that can train ever-growing model sizes is one concern. …
There are plenty of things that the members of the high performance community do not agree on, there is a growing consensus that machine learning applications will at least in some way be part of the workflow at HPC centers that do traditional simulation and modeling. …
While the machine learning applications created by hyperscalers and the simulations and models run by HPC centers are very different animals, the kinds of hardware that help accelerate the performance for one is also helping to boost the other in many cases. …
When IBM started to use the word “open” in conjunction with its Power architecture more than three years with the formation of the OpenPower Foundation three years ago, Big Blue was not confused about what that term meant. …
