DRAM Cache For GPUs Improves Performance By Up To 12.5x While Significantly Reducing Power Versus HBM

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, sustainability

A new research paper has discovered the usefulness of DRAM cache for GPUs which can help enable higher performance at low power.

Researchers Propose The Use Of Dedicated DRAM Caches Onto Newly-Built SCMs For GPUs, Replacing Conventional HBM Configuration

The GPU industry, which involves consumer, workstation, and AI GPUs, is proceeding in a way that we are seeing advancements in memory capacities and bandwidth, but it isn’t sustainable, and ultimately, we could hit the limits if an innovative approach isn’t taken.

Omnidirectional tripedal robot scoots, shuffles and climbs

Posted by in categories: biological, robotics/AI

A small research group from the University of Michigan has developed a three-legged skating/shuffling robot called SKOOTR that rolls as it walks, can move along in any direction and can even rise up to overcome obstacles.

The idea for the SKOOTR – or SKating, Omni-Oriented, Tripedal Robot – project came from assistant professor Talia Y. Moore at the University of Michigan’s Evolution and Motion of Biology and Robotics (EMBiR) Lab.

Nvidia’s Next-Gen AI Chip Is a 1,000W GPU: Dell Exec

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

According to Nvidia’s roadmap, it’ll unveil its next-gen Blackwell architecture soon. The company always launches a new architecture with data center products first and then reveals the cut-down GeForce versions many months later, so that’s what’s expected this time as well. On that note, the company’s semi-annual GTC technology conference starts in two weeks, so we expect a lot to be revealed at the show. As proof that Nvidia is close to pulling the wraps off its new data center GPUs, a Dell executive has already shared some juicy info about next-gen Nvidia hardware, saying in a recent earnings call the company has a 1,000W data center GPU in the pipeline.

The executive who has probably already received an angry call from Jensen is Jeff Clarke, a COO at Dell. On a Feb. 29 earnings call (PDF), the executive discussed Dell’s engineering superiority and how upcoming hardware from Nvidia will give the company a chance to show it off. “We’re excited about what happens at the B100 and the B200,” he said, which are the die names for Nvidia’s next-generation data center GPU and its apparent successor. For context, Nvidia currently has the H100 as its flagship data center GPU and is just now launching the second iteration with faster HBM3e memory, dubbed H200. We all know the B100 is the Blackwell successor to this chip, so it appears the B200 will be that GPU’s second iteration, though it does not currently appear on Nvidia’s roadmap (below).

He then left Google and started a new AI lab called Inflection AI, which he ran as CEO. He and Inflection’s chief scientist, Karén Simonyan, are now jumping ship to help lead Microsoft AI.

Suleyman will become both a Microsoft EVP and run the new Microsoft AI group as CEO. On why he was selected, Nadella said: “I’ve known Mustafa for several years and have greatly admired him as a founder of both DeepMind and Inflection, and as a visionary, product maker, and builder of pioneering teams that go after bold missions.”

Meanwhile, Suleyman noted in a LinkedIn post: “I’ll be leading all consumer AI products and research, including Copilot, Bing and Edge.” Several of his co-workers at Inflection have also decided to migrate to Microsoft, he wrote.

NVIDIA Announces Project GR00T Foundation Model for Humanoid Robots and Major Isaac Robotics Platform Update

Posted by in categories: innovation, robotics/AI

GTC— NVIDIA today announced Project GR00T, a general-purpose foundation model for humanoid robots, designed to further its work driving breakthroughs in robotics and embodied AI.

As part of the initiative, the company also unveiled a new computer, Jetson Thor, for humanoid robots based on the NVIDIA Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC), as well as significant upgrades to the NVIDIA Isaac™ robotics platform, including generative AI foundation models and tools for simulation and AI workflow infrastructure.

“Building foundation models for general humanoid robots is one of the most exciting problems to solve in AI today,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The enabling technologies are coming together for leading roboticists around the world to take giant leaps towards artificial general robotics.”
