The Shape Of AMD HPC And AI Iron To Come
In the IT business, just like any other business, you have to try to sell what is on the truck, not what is planned to be coming out of the factories in the coming months and years. AMD has put a very good X86 server processor into the market for the first time in nine years, and it also has a matching GPU that gives its OEM and ODM partners a credible alternative for HPC and AI workload to the combination of Intel Xeons and Nvidia Teslas that dominate hybrid computing these days.
There are some pretty important caveats to …

The Knowledge Mortgage
One of the common questions I get is this: I need to study to get a job, and I do not see how learning all this theory stuff is helpful. It’s time to take this line of thinking on with a look at the concept of a learning (or knowledge) mortgage.

Google Research Pushing Neural Networks Out of the Datacenter
Google has been at the bleeding edge of AI hardware development with the arrival of its TPU and other system-scale modifications to make large-scale neural network processing efficient and fast.
But just as these developments come to fruition, advances in trimmed-down deep learning could move many more machine learning training and inference operations out of the datacenter and into your palm.
Although it might be natural to think the reason that neural networks cannot be processed on devices like smartphones is because of limited CPU power, the real challenge lies in the vastness of the model sizes and hardware memory …

A MapReduce Accelerator to Tackle Molecular Dynamics
Novel architectures are born out of necessity and for some applications, including molecular dynamics, there have been endless attempts to push parallel performance.
In this area, there are already numerous approaches to acceleration. At the highest end is the custom ASIC-driven Anton machine from D.E. Shaw, which is the fastest system, but certainly not the cheapest. On the more accessible accelerators side are Tesla GPUs for accelerating highly parallel parts of the workload—and increasingly, FPGAs are being considered for boosting the performance of major molecular dynamics applications, most notably GROMACS as well as general purpose, high-end CPUs (Knights Landing …

RFC 8212: Bringing Sane Defaults to EBGP
It’s amazing how long it can take to get some sanity into networking technologies. RFC 8212 specifies that a BGP router should not announce prefixes over EBGP until its routing policy has been explicitly configured. It took us only 22 years to get there…

Are you an Intelligent fool ?
Most fundamental network design attribute should be simplicity. When you have a simple network, you can have secure, flexible , scalable, understandable , in fact all important design requirements can be achieved. But having simplicity is easy to say, hard to achieve. On the other hand, some amount of complexity is required, as […]
