PLYMOUTH, Mass., September 9, 2019 -- Microway, a leading provider of computational clusters, servers, and workstations for AI and HPC applications, announces it has provided Oregon State University with six NVIDIA DGX-2 supercomputer systems, deployment services, and bringup expertise. Each DGX-2 packs 16 fully connected Tesla V100 GPUs, giving Oregon State a linked network of the world's most powerful AI systems powered by 96 GPU accelerators. The new, massively increased computing capabilities at the College of Engineering resolved a significant campus hardware gap and helped support cutting-edge research on medical imaging, nuclear science, bridge construction, robotics, and driverless vehicles. When planning expanded capability, university faculty and administrators determined they needed enough GPU capacity to serve the diverse needs of undergraduate classes and research workloads, plus lightning-fast storage. The University selected the NVIDIA DGX-2 platform for its immense power, technical support services, and the Docker images with NVIDIA's NGC containerized software.

SDM EXCLUSIVE ABOUT AI IN SECURITY It seems as though everyone's talking about artificial intelligence, but is everyone saying the same thing? With the impact AI will have and is already having on the security industry, let's make sure we're all on the same page. By Tim Scally, SDM Associate Editor Smart Get L Bill Hogan, president and CEO, owner, D/A Central Oak Park, Mich., says AI technology, which he prefers to call "augmented intelligence," is enhancing human experience through constant learning and should not be viewed as a threat. While not everyone finds the Russians completely trustworthy with regard to foreign intelligence, there is no denying that artificial intelligence is the next great frontier in which companies are racing to stake a claim. But before anyone plants a flag in the top of Mount AI, it's important to know what the mountain is.
