The Role and Potential of CPUs in Deep Learning
Deep learning (DL) applications have unique architectural characteristics and efficiency requirements. Hence, the choice of computing system has a profound impact on how large a piece of the DL pie a user can finally enjoy. Even though accelerators may provide higher throughput than general-purpose computing systems (CPUs), there are several other metrics and usage scenarios […]
Introducing the Cloud-Native Supercomputing Architecture
Historically, supercomputers were designed to run a single application and were confined to a small set of well-controlled users. With AI and HPC becoming primary compute environments for wide commercial use, supercomputers now need to serve a broad population of users and to host a more diverse software ecosystem, delivering non-stop services dynamically. New supercomputers […]
