Cerebras Unveils AI Supercomputer-On-A-Chip

Today unicorn startup Cerebras disclosed a few details about the wafer-scale AI chip it has been keeping under wraps for some three years. While many unanswered questions remain, the new approach could mark a significant milestone in the semiconductor industry, where...

NVIDIA GTC ’20 Could Be Massive

As we approach NVIDIA’s annual GPU Technology Conference, everyone is anxious to see what CEO Jensen Huang has up his trademark black leather sleeves. I have no idea, but as usual, I have an opinion. An intro to GTC GTC is NVIDIA’s partners’ big annual opportunity to...

NVIDIA DPU & Intel IPU: Game Changers Or Just Smart NICs?

Intel has joined the fray to create a new category of Smart Network Interfaces, but with a different strategy than NVIDIA. Back in 2020, when we were all still afraid to leave our homes, NVIDIA launched what it said was a new kind of processor that combined the...

What NVIDIA Will Say At Hotchips‘22

“We are the Accelerated Data Center”: GPU’s, CPUs, Networking and Systems. As anyone not comatose knows, today’s modern data center workloads — like AI, HPC, and machine learning — absolutely demand acceleration. And the appetite for acceleration seems insatiable, in...

IBM Launches Quantum System Two And A Roadmap To Quantum Advantage

IBM announced its path to achieve over 100,000 qubits and over a billion circuit gates. When realized, IBM may create the world's first platform for universal computation in a quantum system. It sounds like Quantum Nirvana is finally in sight. Background Building a...

Hot Chips Concludes An Amazing Lineup of AI Chip Companies.

Every year, I promise not to attend this tech-heavy confab of fast chips. And every year, I break that promise. Just too much to ignore! I can deal with it: some technology is just beyond my pay grade. My masters in CS is decades old, and the deep technology...

What If IBM Z Could Help Stop Fraud?

Last year, IBM launched the z16 with an integrated AI accelerator on each CPU chip. Now, with the infusion of AI into IBM z/OS and a robust AI open-source toolkit, IBM Z customers can realize low-latency AI on a highly trustworthy and secure enterprise system: the...
