Why the World is Starting to look like a Giant HPC Cluster
"AI, machine learning, is not a (traditional) HPC workload. However, it takes an HPC machine to do it. If you look at HPC, generally, you take a model or things like that, you turn it into an extraordinarily large amount of data, and then you go find some information for that data. Machine learning, on the other hand, takes an extraordinarily large amount of information and collapses it into an idea or a model."The post Why the World is Starting to look like a Giant HPC Cluster appeared first on insideHPC.
