SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 8, 2020 -- Tachyum Inc.announced it is opening a business unit to serve U.S., EU and NATO member government customers of its Prodigy Universal Processor for demanding HPC, artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. Although the company's primary market is hyperscale data centers, Tachyum's CEO Dr. Rado Danilak recognized that government agencies – notably military and intelligence – are early adopters of Prodigy. Its ultra-low-power, ultra-high-performance enables and vastly improves next-generation defense systems such as unmanned aircraft and underwater systems, cybersecurity, communications, analytics, and more. Prodigy's "unique attributes set the conditions to create a computing architecture fully aligned with the operational and strategic imperatives of our national strategy," said retired Army Lieutenant General Richard Zahner. He is a career electronic intelligence specialist who headed signals intelligence at the National Security Agency (NSA) and ended his career as Army deputy chief of staff for intelligence.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 28, 2020 -- AI Breakthrough, a market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) market, announced that Liqid, provider of the composable infrastructure platform, has been selected as winner of the "AI Platform Innovation Award" in the 2020 AI Breakthrough Awards program for Liqid's Command Center composable infrastructure software. The Liqid composable infrastructure platform delivers software-defined, adaptive resource allocation across bare metal via Liqid's ultra-low-latency intelligent fabric to ensure significant increases in data agility, capacity and bandwidth. Liqid Command Center composable infrastructure software delivers dramatic improvements for data center resource utilization and efficiency, including software licenses, to improve overall total cost of ownership and significantly improve data center efficiency. With Liqid Command Center software, resources are directed to whatever application requires them, while hardware can be added as required without having to deploy bundled converged systems that provide uneven performance. Accelerator technologies such as GPU, NVMe, FPGA, storage class memory, and networking can be pooled and deployed at bare metal in previously impossible quantities via Command Center across PCI-Express, Infiniband, and Ethernet.

American chip innovation is alive and well, as Nvidia's latest lineup showed. For all those who cite Intel Corp.'s troubles as symbolic of the U.S. semiconductor industry's decline, here are two heartening words: Nvidia Corp. On Tuesday, Nvidia -- a red-hot maker of chips for video games, artificial intelligence and cloud computing -- proved again that it is way ahead of its rivals in terms of innovation and performance. The Silicon Valley-based company announced a lineup of three new gaming graphics cards based on its latest "Ampere" chip architecture, saying they will deliver up to double the performance of its prior offerings in the "greatest generational leap" in its history. Prices for the new products range from $499 to $1,499, with two due to come out later this month and the third to be released in October.

Google LLC announced today a raft of artificial intelligence-related updates as part of Google Cloud Next: OnAir, a nine-week series of livestream events that runs through Sept. 15. The focus of today's updates is all about machine learning and, in particular, the emerging MLOps discipline that's aimed at putting machine learning workflows into operation by fostering more collaboration and better communication between data scientists and developers. Google's AI Platform is a suite of tools that's meant to enable MLOps. It enables machine learning developers, data scientists and data engineers to take their ideas around ML and develop these into actual projects that can be deployed in production quickly and without excessive costs. The AI Platform is centered on Kubeflow, which is an open-source platform developed by Google that enables developers to build portable ML pipelines that can run on-premises or in Google's Cloud.

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced its supercomputer hosted in Azure Cloud which it developed in collaboration with OpenAI. The company said that the supercomputer could train various artificial intelligence models and comes with more than 2,85,000 CPU cores, 10,000 GPUs, and 400Gbps of network connectivity for each GPU server. Not just this, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recently acquired the supercomputing leader Cray, following which it has introduced the HPE Cray supercomputing line that can perform data-centric AI workloads with exceptionally high speed. It also built the new TX-GAIA (Green AI Accelerator) computing system at the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center which has been ranked as the most powerful AI supercomputer at any university in the world. With a performance of 100 AI petaflops, it can perform complex deep neural network operations with much ease.

We've decided to create a number of engagement events to share ideas and discuss topics that will define the future of machine learning in healthcare. As a lab, our purpose is to create new and powerful machine learning techniques and methods that can revolutionize healthcare. This doesn't happen in a vacuum. At inception, we are inspired by ideas and discussions; in implementation, we need connections, trust, and partnership to make a real difference. While you can learn about our work at major conferences in machine learning or in our papers, we think it's a better idea to create a community and keep these conversations going.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) in government market was valued at US$4.904 billion in 2019. In recent years, government in different countries are taking a keen interest in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. They are increasingly investing in artificial intelligence (AI), spending budget, and time on pilot programs for various AI applications while discussing with people in the filed on the future implications of this technology for various public projects. The growing volume of big data is the major factor that is increasing the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology across the government sector as it reduces the cost of storing and processing that data.

Here's a sign that the troubled Windows on Snapdragon platform isn't going away anytime soon: Qualcomm is announcing today its new made-for-PC processor based on ARM design. The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 follows up 2018's Snapdragon 8cx, and back then the company said the "x" in the name stood for "extreme" power. This year's model offers better AI performance and support for newer standards of WiFi and Bluetooth, but doesn't appear to run any faster than before. Acer and HP both also announced today that they'll be offering laptops with the new chipset, with Acer's Spin 7 being the first to use it. HP's product will be a business-centric notebook, and the company said more information will be shared later this year.
