Deep Learning, Nvidia interpretation Deep Learning Concept images Back to server basics, Same Throughput with Fewer Server Nodes To illustrate how throughput and cost savings are related, let’s assume there are two data centers. The CPU-Only data center is comprised of traditional CPU servers and the accelerated data center is comprised of a mix of traditional CPU servers and GPU-accelerated servers.

IBM Research has been working on new non-volatile magnetic memory for over two decades. Non-volatile memory is wonderful for retaining data without power, but it is extremely slow, and does not last forever. Primary computer memory (Dynamic Random Access Memory, or DRAM) is fast but volatile (thats the D part), and on-processor chip memory (Static Random Access Memory, or SRAM) […]

Moore’s Law, the famous prediction that the number of transistors that can be packed onto a microchip will double every couple of years, has been bumping into basic physical limits. These limits could  bring decades of progress to a halt, unless new approaches are found. One new direction being explored is the use of atomically thin materials instead of silicon as […]

Prototype headlight system not currently available for specification. The predictive system directs beams into upcoming corners even before drivers  may have seen them.  Driving at night, especially on unfamiliar roads, can be stressful, with many people choosing to avoid the experience altogether. Manufacturers though are increasingly working on headlight technology to improve road illumination and make driving in the dark easier. Ford, […]
