Use cases show that on-package accelerators benefit HPC/AI workloads from computation to data movement and security
Customer success stories illuminate how hardware accelerators speed necessary infrastructure to support all aspects of an accelerated AI and HPC computing datacenter.
Addressing the challenge of software support for multiarchitecture AI accelerated HPC
Programmers can no longer rely on the traditional method of targeting specific hardware accelerators with conditional pragmas (e.g., #ifdef) to match the software to the hardware at a particular datacenter or customer site. Humans writing machine-specific code cannot address the exponential increase in possible hardware combinations in the modern multivendor, multiarchitecture computing environment. Open software provides a multiarchitecture, multivendor solution that addresses the complexities of accelerated HPC and AI computing.
Ushering in the 5th epoch of distributed computing with accelerated AI technologies
This is the first in a series of articles based on interviews with Intel technology leaders about AI/HPC acceleration.
