At #ISC23, @intel's Jeff McVeigh going through AI-accelerated #hpc. Either AI helping reduce large problems, or AI hardware being used for reduced precision in HPC
If you hadn't seen it, Intel's AI roadmap. Falcon Shores is the output of GPU+AI.
GPU Max.
128 Xe Cores
128 GB HBM2e
52 TF FP64
839 TOP BF16
And just to clarify, Falcon shores first gen is a converged Xe + AI (habana) IP design. First point here. Even though its called a GPU overall.
The status on #aurora: 10000 blades delivered, each with 2 CPU + 6 GPU. Blades initially shipped with regular @intel CPU, now 75% replaced with Max CPU (hence why no #Top500 sub).
But 63744 GPUs at 52 TF/GPU means an Rpeak of around 3.3 ExaFLOP FP64!! That's not counting CPUs
(That's assuming each GPU is the full fat 600W node - I need to go back to my original estimates I did on AnandTech where I calculated 560W ea)

Ready for @intel #vision keynote with new CEO Lip-Bu Tan? Lots of eyes on this one. Starts on the hour. A 🧵
Some initial thoughts. LBT has to show he understands the company. He needs to showcase where Intel stands in key markets, and identify the direction to go in. If Pat was the aspirational, LBT has to be the pragmatist, and show it.
He's only been the role a month. I'm not expecting any major announcements or immediate changes in Intel's direction right now. He has some time for that for sure. LBT has to show how sharp he is, where he's focused, and what matters most.
