NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra Sets the Bar in New MLPerf Inference Benchmark
Inference performance is critical, as it directly influences the economics of an AI factory. The higher the throughput of AI factory infrastructure, the more tokens it can produce at a high speed — increasing revenue, driving down total cost of ownership (TCO) and enhancing the system’s overall productivity. Less than half a year since its Read Article
The Hungarian Algorithm and Its Applications in Computer Vision
Introduction Multi-object tracking (MOT) is a task in which an algorithm must detect and track multiple objects in a video. Most known algorithms are based on using simple detectors (e.g. YOLO) designed for processing individual images. The overall method involves separately using a detector on consecutive video frames and then matching the corresponding bounding boxes […] The post The Hungarian Algorithm and Its Applications in Computer Vision appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Accelerate your model training with managed tiered checkpointing on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod
AWS announced managed tiered checkpointing in Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, a purpose-built infrastructure to scale and accelerate generative AI model development across thousands of AI accelerators. Managed tiered checkpointing uses CPU memory for high-performance checkpoint storage with automatic data replication across adjacent compute nodes for enhanced reliability. In this post, we dive deep into those concepts and understand how to use the managed tiered checkpointing feature.
Hyundai’s out-of-this-world EV concept is a glimpse at the upcoming Ioniq 3
Hyundai is out with a new concept car that previews a smaller EV that could slot below the Ioniq 5. And while the design is pretty bold, and full of what seems to be veiled references to Star Wars, the idea of a smaller (and hopefully less expensive) electric hatchback is surely one of the […]
