09/25/2024 - Biotech advances from UT’s new Deep Proteins group are changing the game with help from artificial intelligence.Working as a chemist in Houston, Danny Diaz spent a lot of time plodding his way through crosstown traffic, pondering how to speed up his research.“I realized that my impact in the short term would be limited to the amount of chemistry experiments I could do with my hands,” he recalled.Read More
09/24/2024 - The job of building computer networks that train and run large AI models is becoming increasingly complicated because traditional network designs can’t operate at the higher speeds that the AI workloads require and need to be tuned to a variety of communication endpoints (such as CPUs, graphics processing units and AI accelerators) that have widely different characteristics, including data generation speeds. Moreover, AI workloads require advanced network monitoring capabilities to quickly diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks.Read More
