I'm glad for all those who to turn a new leaf and join Intel. The compensation packages must be enormous to lure people of their caliber and experience.
And I'll be the first to admit that when they got Raja and Chris I thought they had actually scored a real team that could do it, but I never expected them to go this far with it and go in this deeply. I am excited!I guess "building something new" is a good source of motivation too. New teams, new projects, a lot of ressources... A nice change of pace if you feel like stagnating in another place...
I can't blame them. The escalation of the trade war complicates things a lot.
https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/nvidia-brings-cuda-to-arm-enabling-new-path-to-exascale-supercomputing-20190617-00072NVIDIA today announced its support for Arm CPUs, providing the high performance computing industry a new path to build extremely energy-efficient, AI-enabled exascale supercomputers.
NVIDIA is making available to the Arm® ecosystem its full stack of AI and HPC software — which accelerates more than 600 HPC applications and all AI frameworks — by year's end. The stack includes all NVIDIA CUDA-X AI™ and HPC libraries, GPU-accelerated AI frameworks and software development tools such as PGI compilers with OpenACC support and profilers.
Once stack optimization is complete, NVIDIA will accelerate all major CPU architectures, including x86, POWER and Arm.
https://news.developer.nvidia.com/r...-archived-content-to-4k-resolution-and-above/With 4K as the current standard and 8K experiences becoming the new norm, older content doesn’t meet today’s visual standard. The remastering process aims to revitalize older content to match these new standards. It has become a common practice in the industry, allowing audiences to revisit older favorites and enjoy them in a modern viewing experience.
Los Angeles-based VideoGorillas develops state-of-the-art media technology that incorporates AI techniques built on NVIDIA CUDA-X and Studio Stack. By integrating GPU-accelerated machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision, their techniques allow studios to achieve higher visual fidelity and increased productivity when it comes to remastering.
A recent innovation they’re developing is a new production-assisted AI technique called Bigfoot super resolution. This technique converts films from native 480p to 4K by using neural networks to predict missing pixels that are incredibly high quality, so the original content almost appears as it was filmed in 4K.
The networks are trained with Pytorch using CUDA and cuDNN with millions of images per film. However, loading thousands of images is creating a bottleneck in their pipeline. VideoGorillas is thus integrating DALI (NVIDIA Data Loading Library) to accelerate training times.
A cornerstone of video is the aggregation of visual information across adjacent frames. VideoGorillas uses Optical Flow to compute the relative motion of pixels between images. It provides frame consistency and minimizes any contextual or style loss within the image.
This new level of visual fidelity augmented by AI is only possible with NVIDIA RTX, which delivers 200x performance gains vs CPUs for their mixed precision and distributed training workflows. Video Gorillas trains super resolution networks with RTX 2080, and NVIDIA Quadro for larger-scale projects.
