Many organizations follow an old trend to adopt AI and HPDA as distinct entities which leads to underutilization of their clusters. To avoid this, clusters can be converged to save (or potentially eliminate) capital expenditures and reduce OPEX costs. This sponsored post from Intel’s Esther Baldwin, AI Strategist, explores how organizations are using converged HPC to combine HPC, AI, and HPDA workloads.

BlueData, Intel Compare Bare-Metal & Containers for Big Data Workloads
June 7, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Has your business ever tried to decide between a bare-metal environment or a container-based environment for dealing with Big Data needs? BlueData and Intel collaborated to discuss this very issue in a benchmark study of the performance of Big Data workloads.
Bare-Metal Performance for Big Data Workloads on Docker Containers
May 19, 2017 by Leave a Comment
In a benchmark study, Intel compared the performance of Big Data workloads running on a bare-metal deployment versus running in Docker containers with the BlueData EPIC software platform. The study found that it is possible to run Big Data workloads in a container-based environment without sacrificing performance. The benefits include agility, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Data science teams can get on-demand Hadoop and Spark clusters, while leveraging enterprise-grade security in a multi-tenant architecture.

FPGAs Speed Machine Learning at SC16 Intel Discovery Zone
December 5, 2016 by Leave a Comment
In this video from SC16, Intel demonstrates how Altera FPGAs can accelerate Machine Learning applications with greater power efficiency. “The demo was put together using OpenCL design tools and then compiled to FPGA. From an end-user perspective, they tied it together using Intel MKL-DNN with CAFFE on top of that. This week, Intel announced the DLIA Deep Learning Inference Accelerator that brings the whole solution together in a box.”
Pikazo: Deep Neural Network Art on Intel Architecture
November 23, 2016 by Leave a Comment
In this video from the Intel HPC Developer Conference, Noah Rosenberg and Karl Stiefvater from Pikazo describe the company’s innovative Pikazo App for smartphones. “Pikazo was developed in 2015 using neural style transfer algorithms. It is a collaboration between human, machine, and our concept of art. It is a universal art machine that paints any image in the style of any other, producing sometimes-beautiful, sometimes-disturbing, always-surprising artworks. Pikazo allows novice artists to create impressive imagery via a technique known as neural style transfer.”
