Video: Accelerated Any-Scale Ai Solutions from DDN - insideHPC

In this video from the DDN User Group at ISC 2018, James Coomer from DDN presents: A3I – Accelerated Any-Scale Solutions from DDN. Engineered from the ground up for the AI-enabled data center, DDN's A3I solutions are fully optimized to handle the spectrum of AI and DL activities concurrently: data ingest and preparation, training, validation, and inference. The DDN A3I platform is easy to deploy and manage, highly scalable in both performance and capacity, and represents a highly efficient and resilient solution for all of your current and future AI requirements." Today, AI and DL are creating the toughest workloads in modern computing history. At the same time, they pose exceptional challenges and put significant strain on the underlying I/O, storage, compute and network. An AI-enabled datacenter must be able to concurrently and efficiently service the entire spectrum of activities involved in the AI and DL process, including data ingest, training and inference. In order for GPUs to fulfill their promise of acceleration, data must be processed and delivered to the underlying AI applications with great speed, scalability and consistently low latencies.
