Consider the GPU. An island of SIMD greatness that makes light work of matrix math. Originally designed to rapidly paint dots on a computer monitor, it was then found to be quite useful in large numbers by HPC practitioners. Enter GenAI, and now these little matrix mavens are in huge demand, so much so that we call it the GPU ...Full article
Groundwater is a vital water supply for humanity. It supplies 35% of the drinking water in the U.S. and almost half of all drinking water in the world. Unfortunately, over-extraction, industrial contamination, and pollution from agricultural activities have depleted the groundwater resources. To make things worse, traditional methods for groundwater assessments have proven inadequate for ...Full article
The Llama 3 large language model (LLM) is Meta’s latest and most advanced LLM to date.

With the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) set to publish the first Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Standards in a few weeks, attention is shifting to how to put the new quantum-resistant algorithms into practice. Indeed, the number of companies with practices to help others implement PQC is mushrooming and contains familiar (IBM, Deloitte, et ...Full article
Even though we invented it, humans can be pretty bad at science. We need to eat and sleep, we sometimes let our emotions regulate our behavior, and our bodies are easily and irreparably damaged – all of which can stand in the way of scientific achievement. Human researchers will always play a role in science, ...Full article
Scale AI, which provides data labeling and annotation software and services to organizations like OpenAI, Meta, and the Department of Defense, this week announced a $1-billion funding round at a valuation of nearly $14 billion, putting it in a prime position to capitalize on the generative AI revolution. Alexandr Wang founded Scale AI back in 2016 to ...Full article

One of the largest hurdles to trustworthy and responsible AI is the concept of the black box, and Anthropic just took a big step towards opening that box. For the most part, humans aren’t able to understand how AI systems output answers. We know how to feed these models large amounts of data, and we ...Full article
Fujitsu, one of the leading technology and business solutions providers, has been chosen for the research and development project for the enhanced infrastructures for post-5G information and communication systems. This project is part of the Generative AI Accelerator Challenge (GENIAC) initiative by Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). The goal of the ...Full article
High-intensity and high-repetition lasers emit powerful bursts of light in rapid succession, capable of firing multiple times per second. Commercial fusion energy plants and advanced compact radiation sources are common examples of systems that rely on such laser systems. However, humans are a major limiting factor as the human response time is insufficient to manage ...Full article
