The Cambrian explosion of AI chips has made it hard to tell what chip is good for what. Venkat Vishwanath, Data Science Team Lead at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), and a Gordon Bell finalist, joins us to discuss the ALCF AI Testbed. Currently working with systems such as Cerebras, Graphcore, SambaNova, Habana, Groq, Untether, Tenstorrent, Esperanto, and others, the Testbed evaluates accelerators from a usability and performance standpoint.

Why is technopolitics a good lens? Technology has always had a big impact on geopolitics and global competitiveness. What’s special now?

A major topic that we’ve wanted to cover for a few years is technopolitics. The impact of technology on national competitiveness, and therefore on policy and supply chain, is growing. We see that in the global gold-rush frenzy towards advanced technologies: exascale supercomputers, quantum computing, AI, space tech, biotech, robotics,  and so on. The first question is: what’s different now? Over the course of history, technology has always had a big impact on geopolitics, on human condition, on global competitiveness. So what’s special now? Join us!

Cartoon of the weak is about bad marketing and so we have to discuss the role of marketing and the importance of alignment between CMO and CEO, then it’s the unfolding social media wars with Meta’s new Threads app and Twitter, and the complications that can arise from Direct to Consumer (DTC) marketing. We end with Data-is-Oil and how crude data, like crude oil, must be refined and out to use before it has high value at smaller volume.

Dr. Joe Landman joins us to discuss how the open source OS community has found itself in the middle of the kind of Linux wars that can change the industry. The recent firestorm in the Linux world erupted when Red Hat changed the access mechanism and distribution rights of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We unpack what happened, who it affects, and how the landscape might change. Joe has been a business and technology leader, a hands-on engineer and architect, and a data analyst and researcher. A computational physicist by training he has was one of the early pioneers of custom and accelerated systems.  Read his blog on this and other HPC software here.

Mark Himelstein, CTO of RISC-V joins us to discuss the latest developments with the RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) and its growing community and footprint. Topics include HPC type use cases from sensor to supercomputer, achieving customization without loss of compatibility, AI and its impact on chips and systems, and the question on everyone’s mind: when do we see RISC-V in servers and supercomputers!

You may also be interested in Shahin’s conversation with Mark in August 2020 and see how things have evolved.
