From concept to reality – Building the Quantum data centres of the future

Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning have quickly transformed the speed and scale of business decisions and we are tantalisingly close to mimicking the human brain. So much so that today, Alan Turing would be proud! But these processes still can’t quite understand the brain or “make a simulation of nature”, as […]

Speak up: Speech recognition is big business, thanks to HPC

It wasn’t long ago when being put through to a robot on company’s phone line was a painful experience to say the least. I’m sure, like me, you have had that moment where you’ve wanted to hang-up out of pure frustration at not being understood?

Economic drivers then saw everything shift to the cloud, but many companies and research organisations discovered not every application is well suited to that […]

Supercomputing at the Speed of Light

During our careers, the opportunity to work on something genuinely ground-breaking, something pioneering that raises the bar, is extremely rare.

Collaborating with NVIDIA comes with […]

Life after GPUs

GPUs have become the accepted norm for all kinds of fast processing, but could there be signs that there is something else beyond the GPU? Back in October, Kao Data’s Tom Bethel told us how GPUs are taking the spotlight from from CPUs in data centres, because of their high performance, and ability to handle […]
