Four Practical Applications Of Artificial Intelligence And 5G

By / 5G, AI and Machine Learning, Research / October 22, 2020

It is no secret that artificial intelligence (AI) is a technical marketing whitewash. Many companies claim that its algorithms and data scientists enable a differentiated approach in the networking infrastructure space. However, what are the practical applications of AI for connectivity and, in particular, 5G? From my perspective, it encapsulates four key areas. Here I …

NVIDIA Needed A CPU, But Did It Need To Buy Arm To Get One?

By / AI and Machine Learning, Research / September 28, 2020

I often opine that NVIDIA needs a data center-class CPU to compete with Intel and AMD, both of whom have used tightly-coupled CPU/GPU technology to win the first three U.S. exascale supercomputer deals. Connecting massive GPUs to fast CPUs over a painfully slow PCIe interface will not meet the needs of the future of supercomputing …
