A recent article by McKinsey & Co. perhaps best sums up the current zeitgeist on corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives: “Although valid questions have been raised about ESG, the need for companies to understand and address their externalities is likely to become essential to maintaining their social license.” Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is ...Full article
Training generative AI models is often expensive and fraught with challenges. These multi-billion parameter models demand months of training time on huge clusters of GPUs, directed by a team of highly skilled engineers, which can add up to variable costs in the multi-millions of dollars. Variable latency is also a struggle, as cloud providers cannot ...Full article
Training machine learning foundation models with sometimes billions of parameters demands serious computing power. For example, the largest version of GPT-3, the famous large language model behind OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, has 175 billion parameters and needs truly powerful hardware. The model was trained on an AI supercomputer developed by Microsoft specifically for OpenAI that contains over 285,000 ...Full article
The United States Air Force Global Strike Command will deploy artificial intelligence technology in a bid to increase the reliability of its nuclear bombers and ICBMs as part of an expansion of its partnership with Virtualitics, a provider of AI and data exploration software and services. From its headquarters at Barksdale Air Force Base in ...Full article
Cerebras is putting down stakes to be a player in the AI cloud computing with a supercomputer called Andromeda, which achieves over an exaflops of “AI performance.” The company called Andromeda one of the fastest AI systems in the U.S. The system strings together 16 CS-2 systems in a cluster, with a total of 13.5 ...Full article
The concept of metaverse has many definitions: a parallel universe with digital versions of ourselves and the world, the 3D web to succeed today's two-dimensional web, and a graphical interface for predictive analytics and to collaborate on product design. The visual world has many moving parts that unites many data types, interfaces, and AI models. ...Full article
MLCommons yesterday issued its latest round of MLPerf benchmarks – for Training, HPC, and Tiny. Releasing three sets of benchmarks at the same time makes parsing the results, never an easy chore, even more so. Top line: Nvidia accelerators again dominated Training and HPC (didn’t submit in the Tiny category) but Habana’s Gaudi2 performed well ...Full article
The metaverse. The term meta, by its most modern definition can be described as self-referencing or self-reflective. In contemporary nomenclature, meta is often used as a standalone adjective. A “meta” name for a dog would be Dog or a meta movie – would be a movie about movies. And so, we have the metaverse. Another world for people ...Full article
Nvidia does not have all the internal pieces to build out its massive AI computing empire, so it is enlisting software and hardware partners to scale its so-called AI factories in the cloud. The chipmaker’s latest partnership is with Rescale, which provides the middleware to orchestrate high-performance computing workloads on public and hybrid clouds. Rescale ...Full article

Arm’s been riding high on the mobile market for decades now, but has struggled to make its mark on servers. But the company hopes to reverse that with some new initiatives that Arm executives addressed at the recent Arm DevSummit held last week. The top initiative revolves around providing programming and design tools so its chip designs ...Full article
As Moore’s law slows, chips and datacenters are devouring more power than ever to maintain performance gains – and so chipmakers, programmers and system operators look increasingly to specialization for efficiency. Nvidia pitches its BlueField data processing units (DPUs) as one such category of devices, promising the same benefits for networking, storage and security (tasks ...Full article
Server hardware has taken a backseat to software-defined virtual machines handling datacenter workloads, but HPE is emphasizing the importance of hardware in these virtual operating models. HPE created waves when it released the next-generation ProLiant Gen11 servers with a flagship server based on Arm CPUs, which sent a strong signal that it was diversifying outside of ...Full article
