With movies such as Terminator and iRobot gracing movie screens these days, the cause for concern regarding artificial intelligence (AI) is understandable. However, society is still just at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the true power of AI machines and computers. The following info graph will explain the evolution of AI and how OSS is helping to push the limits of artificial intelligence.
For anyone who has worked in the trade show industry, planned a trade show, or exhibited at a trade show, you may already be aware that nothing with trade shows ever goes according to plan. You can spend a lot of time and effort planning everything to a tee, and it still doesn’t matter, because it’s almost a guarantee that something will go wrong.
In the world of digital computing, the fundamental determinant of performance is the ability to distinguish between an electrical signal representing a 1 or a 0. The speed at which these transitions can be recognized on a system’s internal PCI Express (PCIe) interconnect determines the bandwidth of data that can be transmitted and acted upon. With PCIe Gen5, transitions from 1’s to 0’s must be recognized 32 billion times per second.
The need to keep US and allied troops out of harm’s way, while still pursuing battlefield superiority, increasingly requires a need for battlefield assets throughout the military theater to become fully autonomous. Currently, most unmanned military vehicles are controlled remotely, but the military is expanding the role of autonomy within surface ships, submarine vessels, aircraft, and land vehicles to identify and take action on current and future threats.
In this video, Tom Fries, Government Sales Manager at OSS, does a quick walkthrough of the Rigel Edge Supercomputer. The Rigel Edge Supercomputer brings the power of NVIDIA® HGX™ A100 SXM GPUs to the rugged edge. The HGX A100 4-GPU backplane delivers 78 teraFLOPS of FP64 HPC performance using third generation NVIDIA NVLink™ technology. The GPUs are integrated with OSS PCIe Gen 4.0 expansion technology to take advantage of the latest AMD 3rd Gen EPYC processors while offering four PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 expansion slots for high-speed network interconnect, NVMe storage, or FPGA sensor capture.
Whether it is the food you eat or the package you receive on the porch, everything we touch found its way into a semi-truck at some point. There is a severe shortage of truck drivers and the costs are skyrocketing due to oil prices and inflation, putting at risk this fundamental aspect of American society that we take for granted. Fortunately, there is a solution on the horizon, backed by billions of dollars of investment, in the form of autonomous trucks. Believe it or not, you have likely passed one of these trucks on the highway, as they have logged hundreds of thousands of miles throughout the country.
