A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator. Pair it with a computer simulation and it can sniff out mathematical shortcuts through the program, propelling scientists to faster insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of rocket engines to send humankind to Mars and beyond. New research is putting this […]
Rapid advancements in quantum computing are bringing a new era of technological possibilities. However, as quantum technology progresses, there are growing concerns about the availability of resources—a challenge reminiscent of the recent shortage of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) faced by companies in the AI sector. The post Quantum and AI: Navigating the Resource Challenge appeared […]
Researchers from the University of Toronto have used AI to generate a “recipe” for an exciting new catalyst needed to produce green hydrogen fuel. As the effects of climate change begin to become more apparent in our everyday lives, research like this could open the door to green hydrogen fuel that could be used for […]
A recent news release from Data storage company WEKA and S&P Global Market Intelligence unveiled the findings of their second annual Global Trends in AI report. The global study, conducted by S&P Global Market Intelligence and commissioned by WEKA, surveyed over 1500 AI practitioners and decision-makers to understand the underlying trends influencing AI adoption and […]
Hyperscalers have recently made big moves to secure enough power for their data centers. While renewable sources are preferable, there is not enough capacity to feed the next generation of “AI datacenters” on the drawing board. Using fossil fuels is possible but not desirable or sustainable. That leaves nuclear power as the best medium-term solution. […]
A funny thing happened on the way to the AI promised land: People realized they need data. In fact, they realized they need large quantities of a wide variety of data, and that it would be better if it was fresh, trusted, and accurate. In other words, people realized they have a big data problem. […]
Doubt is creeping into discussion over generative AI, as industry analysts begin to publicly question whether the huge investments in GenAI will ever pay off. The lack of a “killer app” besides coding co-pilots and chatbots is the most pressing concern, critics in a Goldman Sachs Research letter say, while data availability, chip shortages, and […]
Md Murad Hossain Khondaker and Mostafa Momen recently published their study titled Improving hurricane intensity and streamflow forecasts in coupled hydro-meteorological simulations by analyzing precipitation and boundary layer schemes in the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Hydrometeorology about hurricanes and how the use of supercomputers can help accurately predict potential hurricane-induced damage. The post ACCESS: Enhancing Hurricane […]
The general consensus that AI would “change everything” is proving to be correct when it comes to infrastructure impacts. The new imperative is to raise and maintain operational standards to avoid inevitable outages caused by adding AI to existing infrastructure. Already key elements are straining to keep pace. It’s hard to tell which new AI […]
A Google-led team of researchers have presented more evidence that it’s possible to run productive circuits on today’s near-term intermediate scale quantum devices that are beyond the reach of classical computing. The post Google Reports Progress on Quantum Devices beyond Supercomputer Capability appeared first on HPCwire.
