IBM And AMD Tag Team On Hybrid Classical-Quantum Supercomputers

As we talked about a decade ago in the wake of launching The Next Platform, quantum computers – at least the fault tolerant ones being built by IBM, Google, Rigetti, and a few others – need a massive amount of traditional Von Neumann compute to help maintain their state, assist with qubit error correction, and assist with their computations.

NeuReality Wants Its NR2 To Be Your Arm CPU For AI

Just because the center of gravity for GenAI compute and other kinds of machine learning and data analytics has shifted from the CPU to the XPU accelerator – generally a GPU these days, but not universally – does not mean that the choice of the CPU for the system hosting those XPUs doesn’t matter.

IBM Outlines Steps To Verify Claims Of Quantum Advantage

D-Wave executives stirred up some controversy earlier this year when they claimed a smaller version of its Advantage 2 annealing quantum system, armed with 1,200 qubits, had reached “quantum supremacy,” – or “quantum advantage” – that significant but ill-defined time when a quantum system is able to solve a problem in much less time, at a lower cost, or more efficiently than the most powerful classical supercomputer.

For Financial Services Firms, AI Inference Is As Challenging As Training

A decade ago, when traditional machine learning techniques were first being commercialized, training was incredibly hard and expensive, but because models were relatively small, inference – running new data through a model to cause an application to act or react – was easy.
