Abstract:
AI (Artificial Intelligence) isn’t sci-fi, and for organizations to gain competitive advantages it demands transforming the data center to process the enormous data compute required for machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). Hear from our guest industry analyst Mike Gualtieri on why AI applications require massively parallel compute ability to enable business use cases like risk management, product bundling or fleet management. Learn from our panel of experts why it’s important and achievable that you pursue exascale computing, helping to enable the fastest time to insight.
