GPU's Role in Artificial Intelligence Advances Featured at Conference By Wayne Rash Posted 2016-10-26 Print NEWS ANALYSIS: The confluence of big data, massively powerful computing resources and advanced algorithms is bringing new artificial intelligence capabilities to scientific research. WASHINGTON, D.C.--Massively parallel supercomputing hardware and advanced artificial intelligence algorithms are being harnessed to deliver powerful new research tools in science and medicine, according to Dr. France A. Córdova, director of the National Science Foundation. Córdova spoke Oct. 26 at the GPU Technology Conference organized by Nvidia, a company that got its start making video cards for PCs and gaming systems and now manufactures advanced graphics processors for high-performance servers and supercomputers. Córdova, who is directing long-term research in AI at the NSF, said the research there is being used already in the Cancer Moonshot project currently spearheaded by Vice President Joe Biden, whose son Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46. The Cancer Moonshot is a major effort to focus resources and funding on the fight to cure cancer on a scale similar to the original mission by NASA to land on the moon.

Pursuing its stated goal to make software smarter, Salesforce has made yet another acquisition, this time agreeing to buy BeyondCore, a San Mateo, Calif.-based data-analytics company. BeyondCore disclosed the sale in a blog post and Salesforce founder the CEO Marc Benioff confirmed it in a tweet, saying that BeyondCore will "enhance the AI capabilities of Analytics Cloud." Terms weren't disclosed, but BeyondCore has raised 9 million since its founding in 2004, according to CrunchBase. BeyondCore was already integrated into Salesforce as part of its upcoming version 7 release, BeyondCore said its post. The acquisition is Saleforce's seventh this year, marking a major increase in velocity -- it bought only 13 other companies between 2012 and 2015, per CrunchBase.
