Which AI Hardware Will Rise Above in the Wake of Competing AI Models?
The grip of AI has continued to hold, with strong competition to develop more powerful AI models, active innovation in the semiconductor industry, and continued investment in the High-Performance Computing (HPC) data center market. Artificial Intelligence has been a hot topic, particularly since generative AI's introduction with large language models (LLMs). In today's landscape, there is an ever-growing plethora of generative AI applications, not limited to generating images, videos, code, and data.

CPUs, GPUs, and AI - Exploring High-Performance Computing Hardware
The use of graphics processing units (GPUs) within high performance computing (HPC) has been increasingly adopted since the introduction of generative AI and large language models, as well as advanced memory, storage, networking, and cooling technologies. A major catalyst for growth has been the integration of AI into HPC workflows, where a convergence of the two unlocks opportunities in various fields by combining the powerful computational power of HPC with the intelligent data processing and "decision-making" of artificial intelligence.
