Retail giant Walmart is going to deploy an GPU-accelerated cloud to be used for machine learning that according to an investor note penned by Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research.
AnewEuropean exascale computing project, known as EuroEXA, kicked off at the Barcelona Supercomputer Center this week during a meeting that brought together the 16 organizations involved in the effort.
Over the last year, the greenest supercomputers in the world more than doubled their energy efficiency the biggest jump since the Green500 started ranking these systems more than a decade ago. If such a pace can be maintained, exascale supercomputers operating at less than 20 MW will be possible in as little as two years. But thats a big if.
German-based startup DeepL has unveiled an AI-powered language translator that the company says outperforms the best availablefrom some of the largest internet firms in the world.
Researchers using the Department of Energys Cori supercomputer have broken the 10-petaflop barrier on two separate deep learning applications, one of which attained a peak throughput of 15 petaflops.
If there was any question that machine learning would spawn chip designs aimed specifically at those applications, those doubts were laid to rest this year. The last 12 months have seen a veritable of explosion of silicon built for this new application space.
Episode 190: Addison Snell and Michael Feldman discuss Microsoft's acquisition of Cycle Computing, plus HPE's supercomputer in space.
IBM is teaming up with four research institutions in an effort to study the effects of the human microbiome on autoimmune diseases. The effort, known as the Microbiome Immunity Project, is purported to be the largest study to date of the bacteria in the human microbiome.
