The NVIDIA Vera CPU is designed for Reinforcement Learning and Agentic AI systems, offering 88 Olympus cores for max single-core performance. NVIDIA's x86-Killer, Vera CPU, Is Now Available, Built Purely With Agentic AI In Mind Surge in agentic AI workloads and reinforcement learning emerging as a key scaling mechanism for improving model capability have made CPUs a vital component for AI systems. Without a fast CPU (execution, evaluation, orchestration), a GPU won't be able to be supplied with context, and that leads to major drawbacks and inefficiencies. This is why NVIDIA designed Rubin, a CPU that is purpose-built for agents, [β¦]
In preparation for the Rubin Vera era, AIC was showing off its F2032-01-G6, a 2U JBOF storage system that can house up to 32 E3 SSDs. The box is designed to be paired with BlueField-4 DPUs, allowing it to be used as a key value caching appliance
It might be an understatement to say that Phison pulled out all the stops at Computex Taipei this year. It amazes me how far they have come and the success well earned. I remember when we first met up with Phison way back at Flash Memory Summit 2013. They were showing off their PS5006 Gen2x4 β¦
I wanted to bring this information to the forefront because itβs hard to imagine just how dramatically our world will change once PCIe 6.0 (Gen6) becomes mainstream. Today, weβre already achieving data transfer speeds of up to 14 GB/s, and Gen6 will double that to an astonishing 28 GB/s. Whatβs remarkable is how easily we β¦
Amazon says that its AWS Graviton5 is the fastest and most efficient CPU it has ever built and is now generally available for AI and other use cases. AWS Graviton5 Starts Rolling Out To Customers, Offering Better Performance With Latest Technologies Including PCIe Gen6 Today marks the official "General" availability of AWS's next big chip, the Graviton5 CPU. The chip is said to be much faster than the existing generation of AWS CPUs, and also expand their capabilities with the latest IO features. Starting off with the performance, Amazon AWS claims that Graviton5 CPUs will offer up to 25% faster [β¦]
Chinese manufacturer InnoGrit has unveiled its first PCIe Gen6 SSD controller, while also giving us a look at what its Gen7 SSDs will have on offer. China Fights Back In The Next-Gen SSD Race With InnoGrit Dishing Out Its IG5686 PCIe Gen6 Controller InnoGrit launches its first Gen5 SSD controller in 2023, marking the entrance of a Chinese brand in the current-gen SSD segments. During Computex, InnoGrit (YingRen Technology) is showcasing its upcoming PCIe Gen6 SSD controller called Crestone "IG5686". This SSD controller is targeted towards Enterprise applications, high-end data centers, and AI use cases. Some of the features of [β¦]
