    Adaptation of AI-accelerated CFD Simulations to the IPU platform

    Researchers have adapted AI-accelerated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to run on Graphcore's Intelligence Processing Units (IPUs). The study focused on training machine learning models to predict simulation states, utilizing custom TensorFlow and the Poplar SDK for the IPU-POD16 platform. By employing the popdist library, they achieved up to a 34% speedup in data feeding, and scaling from 2 to 16 IPUs significantly increased throughput. AI

    Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan stamps out chip bugs with aggressive new quality standards, says major validation errors can result in termination — 'B0, you keep your job. Anything above that, you are fired'

    Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is implementing aggressive new quality standards, demanding that chip designs be production-ready at the A0 revision to reduce costly respins. He is also betting heavily on AI inference workloads, particularly in edge devices and agents, to revitalize the CPU market and restore Intel's leadership. While Intel faces manufacturing challenges, Tan highlighted progress on the 14A process node and noted AI-driven business lines are growing significantly, with recent wins including supplying CPUs for Nvidia's DGX Rubin systems and a co-development deal with Google for IPUs.
