b'As AI expands into the mainstream, how will it succeed at the edge? Matt Jacobs, Senior VP Commercial Systems, Penguin Computing, Inc. talks about the growth of AI, its move from the data center, and easing customers into the edge space.\\n\\nAn established leader in data center and HPC solutions, Penguin takes a system-level view of the move to AI, a trend they\\u2019ve seen developing over the past two years. In the next 18 months, symbiotic technologies will be converging to create \\u201creal growth opportunity,\\u201d in Jacobs\\u2019 words.\\n\\nDeploying AI at the edge comes with its own needs, and they differ from those of traditional data centers. Easily maintained low-power environments well-tuned for workloads are key, and the spread of processing power from the data center to the near-edge to the far-edge calls for software that can ensure workload portability.\\n\\nNew compute platforms, like 2nd Generation Intel\\xae Xeon\\xae Scalable processors with built-in AI acceleration, suit the unique requirements of workloads at the edge. Upcoming Intel \\u201cOne API\\u201d software, which will simplify programming diverse computing engines, will support targeting workloads at various levels of capability.\\n\\nFor more about Penguin Computing, Inc. visit https://www.penguincomputing.com.\\n\\nInformation about Intel technologies is available at intel.com and at intel.com/ai.\\n\\nIntel technologies\\u2019 features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation.
