AI Software Is Leading the Hardware Development in Cloud Computing
DescriptionAI is not about running existing applications better, but it is about solving whole new class of problems that were beyond reach before. Behind this rapid expansion, entirely new programming paradigms are quickly evolving, and with those come new frameworks and even new languages. Software is truly leading hardware in this segment, where providers of compute and acceleration technology stay relentlessly focused on the latest AI software developments, so that today's greatest software innovations can be optimized and accelerated in tomorrow's platforms. AI/ML training requirements are driving future supercomputer architectures which were previously driven by the requirements of HPC applications. AI data intensive compute requires High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) as the primary memory technology. And the scale of the AI networks requires distributing the model parameters sharded across 1000s of compute devices. New interconnects between compute nodes are required that offer significantly more bandwidth than PCIe.
