Carving out a niche in the rapidly evolving arena of AI (Artificial Intelligence) isn’t easy – especially for an organization that doesn’t have first-mover advantage. With a clear mandate from Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)…
The term “artificial intelligence” was coined by American cognitive scientist John McCarthy in 1955 as part of his proposal for the Dartmouth Conference in 1956; the first AI conference. McCarthy, known as the “father of artificial intelligence”, developed the programming…
Recently, the industry has reached a tipping point as evidenced in our recent customer survey that showed a marked increase in the interest and use of HPC cloud. This openness is fueled in part by new applications (like distributed TensorFlow) that are…
A few years ago, while at one of the SuperComputing shows, I met with several industry analysts and tenured product people with HPC providers. We talked about the software stack and tools deployed in the enterprise to manage and monitor…
This Lab covers the steps to install and configure a Univa Grid Engine cluster in Amazon AWS using the Tortuga framework. Prerequisite: You will need to have Amazon AWS credentials and have completed some basic configurations like VPC network and…
Introduction TensorFlow (TF) is a hot topic in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The software library was developed by the Google Brain team within Google’s AI org. The tensorflow.org site describes TensorFlow as, “an open source software library…
