 In the first article in this series, we highlighted some of the motivations for using artificial intelligence in the enterprise to better understand the present and predict the future. In the second article, we provided descriptions of data analytics, data science, machine learning and deep learning. In this article, we continue with a practical description of machine learning and, in our follow-on article, we will do the same for deep learning, a subset of machine learning.

In the first article in this series, we discussed how humans have always desired to better understand the present and predict the future.1 The algorithms to help achieve this understanding have been around for decades, including even those of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches for enabling computers to reason about things that normally require human intelligence.

From the ocean-going explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries to the astronauts of the 20th and 21st centuries, we are on a constant crusade to know more, and to understand life at a deeper level.

He covers too much ground to summarize his remarks in a few words. Let's just say he offered a comprehensive, high-level view of Big Data, AI, HPC, where everything is going – all that. Read more...  There are many ways to break through bottlenecks and some lessons learned from office systems. The IT team at the University of Pisa is leveraging a network architecture to improve the performance of its Storage Spaces Direct environment, which incorporates lightning-fast NVMe drives.  After years of talking about the promise of artificial intelligence, enterprises around the world are now diving headfirst into AI-driven processes and business models. From financial services to manufacturing, from healthcare to retail, enterprises are now “all in” with AI and its supporting computing models — notably machine and deep learning. The same holds true for universities and government agencies. They are using AI for countless pursuits, from driving groundbreaking scientific discoveries to protecting our national security.

Since 2006, TACC has built and operated three supercomputers that debuted in the Top 10 most powerful systems in the world: Ranger (2008), Stampede1 (2012) and Stampede2 (2017). Three other systems debuted in the Top 25.
The primary computing system will be provided by Dell EMC and powered by Intel processors. Data Direct Networks will contribute the primary storage system, and Mellanox will provide the high-performance interconnect for the machine. Read more... |
