An official detailed what’ll be the in-the-making machine’s various purposes.
A cutting-edge, high performance supercomputer is set to be delivered to the Energy Department’s Los Alamos National Laboratory in early 2023.
“With an innovative balance of memory bandwidth and capacity, this next-generation system will shape our institution’s computing strategy,” the lab’s Director Thom Mason said Monday.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise will provide the supercomputing architecture for the novel system, which will also feature Nvidia’s Arm-based Grace Central Processing Unit. Named for computer-programming pioneer Grace Hopper, the Grace CPU uses energy-efficient Arm cores and was explicitly designed for large-scale HPC and artificial intelligence applications. This new chip stems from designs of Arm Holdings, the British semiconductor-licensing giant Nvidi
Microsoft went shopping this weekend. The tech giant has acquired speech tech company Nuance for $19.7 billion. Nuance’s software, called Dragon, is an industry leader for transcription accuracy and uses deep learning to transcribe speech. It also improves accuracy by adapting to a user’s voice. Dragon has been used to license tech like Apple’s famous Siri but it’s unclear how much Siri actually relies on Dragon. This acquisition will be Microsoft’s second-largest after it bought LinkedIn in 2016 for $26 billion. Microsoft says Nuance’s technology can be further integrated in Microsoft teams, or offered independently as part of its Azure cloud business.
