With recent announcements, Nvidia and Adobe put AI in the hands of creative professionals
Generative AI refers to tools that use AI to accelerate computer-aided simulation, modeling, design, engineering and manufacturing. Leveraging sophisticated machine learning algorithms such as generative adversarial networks or GANs, the technology is being used to fabricate a wide range of physical materials, components and objects. Powered by GPUs and other AI-optimized hardware platforms, developers are also using […]
Autonomous digital twins at the network’s edge: thoughts about SWIM.AI’s announcement
Autonomous intelligence is the future of all “internet of things” applications. To drive that intelligence, developers are pushing the architectural concept of “digital twins” into more and more edge devices. At heart, a digital twin drives the analytics that guide a physical entity’s ongoing adjustments to its environment. As the name implies, digital twins are […]
Cloudera has trouble shifting toward a total focus on the cloud era
If a technology vendor is fortunate, it can define an era. If it’s less than fortunate, that era will continue to define the vendor to its disadvantage once the growth potential of its original go-to-market model has begun to wane. Cloudera Inc. has the ironic fortune to have named itself after an era it has only […]
The AI compilation wars: Intel, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM and others arm for deep learning acceleration
Compilers are among the least sexy tools in any developer’s kitbag. You call on your compiler only when you’re ready to see how well your splendid new app will perform in the field. Data scientists are the primary developers in this new era of artificial intelligence-driven applications. Consequently, many may greet the news that Intel Corp. has […]
With new Google investments, TensorFlow is now AI’s leading development framework
Developers of deep learning, machine learning and other artificial intelligence are increasingly adopting the TensorFlow framework. Though TensorFlow is not an official Apache project, it was open-sourced a few years ago by its developer, Google Inc., which continues to make deep investments in the framework. At last week’s TensorFlow Developer Summit in Mountain View, California, Google made several announcements that […]
