What is the HPC memory wall and how can you climb over it?
The high-performance computing (HPC) memory wall generally refers to the growing disparity between processor speed and memory bandwidth. When processor performance outpaces memory access speeds, this creates a bottleneck in overall system performance, particularly in memory-intensive applications like artificial intelligence (AI). This article begins by exploring the conventional definition of the memory wall and then […]

New Eagle will demonstrate the Raptor […]
What determines the size of the dataset needed to train an AI?
Large data sets are needed to train artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Large data sets can be expensive. So, how much data is enough? The complexity of the problem, the model complexity, the quality of the data, and the required level of accuracy primarily determine that. Data augmentation techniques can be used to increase the size […]
