How AI can be an ally for the automotive industry

Today AI has disrupted many of the traditional manufacturing industries, with some of the fastest changes taking place within automotive, where GPU-accelerated technologies have replaced century-old working practices. Right now, every aspect of the business is being transformed, from logistics and supply chain management, to design and testing, and sales and after-service. Moreover, as autonomous […]

Data centres and AI Start-ups. Start as you mean to go on.

Despite the pandemic, organisations engaged in artificial intelligence (AI) contributed more than £15 billion to the UK economy in 2020, and it’s predicted that AI alone could help UK GDP grow 10.3% by 2030. AI is big business, it’s getting bigger all the time and the UK is absolutely leading the charge with a comprehensive […]

A National Strategy to boost AI

Every so often, I stop and think about how rapidly change occurs around us. Looking back even just 10 years ago, something like high performance computing (HPC) was primarily the realm of research and academics. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) powered by GPUs and DGX hardware is seen by many as an engine of productivity and […]

The Synthetic Brain Project

Guest blogger, Craig Rhodes from NVIDIA talks about one of the key programmes, The Synthetic Brain Project, which is benefitting from the computational power of the supercomputer, NVIDIA Cambridge-1 which is housed at Kao Data. Last month, the launch of the NVIDIA supercomputer Cambridge-1 cemented the ultimate collaboration between artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare, and […]

Cambridge-1: Building bridges between AI, academia and the future of healthcare

Last month we were delighted to host guests from AstraZeneca, GSK, Oxford Nanopore, King’s College London, and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, as NVIDIA officially launched Cambridge-1, the UK’s most powerful supercomputer, dedicated to digital biology, bioinformatics and genomics research. This supercomputer will be transformative for the healthcare industry globally, being used to […]

Reinforcement Learning and its position within the AI family tree

Another computer learning discipline gaining traction, mainly because of its superfast outcomes when developing smart applications, is Reinforcement Learning. This blog provides a helicopter view of what this compute form is all about, how it differs from machine learning and deep learning and its ranking in the computer learning landscape. The classical approach to machine […]

AI StartUps – Plan Your Compute Journey Carefully!

A typical AI startup will use considerable amounts of compute during its journey – and so it’s important to think carefully about what you’re going to need en route and prepare properly before setting off on your high performance computing (HPC) and AI road trip. Generally, there are three legs in an AI startup’s compute […]
