Inference is rapidly emerging as the next major frontier in artificial intelligence (AI). Historically, the AI development and deployment focus has been overwhelmingly on training with approximately 80% of compute resources dedicated to it and only 20% to inference. That balance is shifting fast. Within the next two years, the ratio is expected to reverse … Read more
The meteoric rise of NVIDIA’s GPU technology in accelerating AI has captivated the world and, in the process, given rise to persistent myths. This article tackles 11 of the most common misconceptions about AI processors. Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm and integration of AI accelerators and processors into applications is becoming … Read more
Since the fall of the Roman Empire, France has played a defining role in shaping Western civilization. In the 9th century, Charlemagne—a Frank—united much of Europe under one rule, leaving behind a legacy so profound he is still remembered as the “Father of Europe.” While Italy ignited the Renaissance, it was 16th-century France that carried … Read more
Part 2 examines the transformation of the interface protocols industry from a fragmented market of numerous specialized vendors to a more consolidated one dominated by a few major solutions providers as driven by the increasing complexity of modern protocols. It highlights the importance of rigorous validation of interface protocols and underscores the pivotal role of … Read more
Key Takeaways Prolog – Interface Protocols: Achilles’ Heels in Today’s State-of-the-art SOCs June 30 was only a week away when Varun had a sleepless night. The call from the datacenter manager the evening before alerted him on a potential problem with the training of a new Generative AI model. Six months earlier Varun’s employer installed the … Read more
