Robert Roe reports on developments in AI that are helping to shape the future of high performance computing technology at the International Supercomputing Conference
Spotinst has announced that it has raised $35 million in a Series-B funding round for its AI-based workload management platform, which helps companies to manage and optimise their cloud computing spend across several cloud providers
A partnership between the University of Essex and Provide aims to improve the Uk's National Health Service (NHS) by implementing an AI-powered decision-making engine to determine the service a patient needs
Iris.ai, the developer of an artificial intelligence tool that speeds up academics’ search for relevant scientific papers, is launching a global grant competition worth €100K. Contestants will have their chance to debunk scientific misconceptions and earn the chance to produce and distribute a communications campaign with Iris.ai and its partners
Babylon Health has announced a world-first during a presentation streamed live from London’s Royal College of Physicians
With concern for the potential impact of Brexit looming over the UK space sector, an expert in space-focused artificial intelligence and robotics has set out a vision for how the UK can lead the way in space AI and robotics technology.
Wave Computing has announced that it has acquired MIPS Tech, (formerly MIPS Technologies), a specialist in RISC processor Intellectual Property (IP) and licensable CPU cores
The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre has announced that the MareNostrum 4 supercomputer now has three operational racks of IBM Power 9 servers in its production system. The new servers deliver with a peak performance of 1.5 petaflops
The US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has unveiled Summit as the world’s most powerful supercomputer
The Pistoia Alliance has released results of a survey that found that 72 per cent of science professionals believe their sector is lagging behind other industries in the development of AI
Through the use of cutting-edge simulation, software engineers are developing innovative new wind energy technology and increasing the efficiency and durability of wind turbines. The drive to find sustainable energy sources is one of the most pressing concerns facing society.
Dame Sally Davies, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for England, pulls no punches when it comes to the threat of antibiotic resistance. She has called for an ‘Extinction Rebellion-type’ response to it, describing it as ‘catastrophic’ and ‘as dangerous as climate change’.
The Pistoia Alliance has been pioneering initiatives that will support organisations as they work to enable and engage Fair (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles of data management and stewardship in their organisations.
Achronix and Bittware collaborate on a new FPGA designed for cloud, AI and machine learning applications, writes Robert Roe
By increasing the energy efficiency of a supercomputer scientists can save huge amounts of money over the total lifecycle of the system. With ever-increasing core counts and increasingly large supercomputers, the drive for increased computational power comes at a cost.
