Nvidia Adds Rescale Software Stack to AI Cloud Computing

Nvidia does not have all the internal pieces to build out its massive AI computing empire, so it is enlisting software and hardware partners to scale its so-called AI factories in the cloud. The chipmaker's latest partnership is with Rescale, which provides the middleware to orchestrate high-performance computing workloads on public and hybrid clouds. Rescale is adopting Nvidia's AI technology for what the middleware provider called the world's first compute recommendation engine, which automates the selection of compute resources available in the cloud for high-performance applications and simulation, said Edward Hsu, chief product officer at Rescale. "We have over 1,000 applications and versions from leading simulation software providers, we work with all the major cloud providers and specialized architecture providers to really optimize the performance of computational science and engineering workloads," Hsu said. Rescale will also offer Nvidia's AI Enterprise software platform to customers, which includes pre-programmed AI models such as Modulus, which is used for scientific applications and simulation.
