Why HPC Matters: Powering AI to Understand Disease Outbreaks

To compete in today's data-driven world, organizations need to accelerate the digital transformation process that puts technology at the heart of products, services and operations. Digital transformation enables both private and public entities to provide better outcomes and experiences for the people they serve -- from smarter vehicles to personalized healthcare, from customized shopping experiences to the prevention of credit card fraud. A common thread to these and countless other digital transformation use cases is artificial intelligence. AI applications and their underlying technologies, including machine learning and deep learning, enable organizations to train systems to use massive amounts of data to sense, learn, reason, make predictions and evolve. Under the hood, the engine that makes it all go is the blazingly fast processing power of high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
