Build applications faster, ranging from deep learning insights in scientific research, real-time fraud detection and credit risk analysis




IBM unveiled its next-generation Power Systems Servers incorporating its newly designed POWER9 processor. Built specifically for compute-intensive AI workloads, the new POWER9 systems are capable of improving the training times of deep learning frameworks.
The new POWER9-based AC922 Power Systems are the first to embed PCI-Express 4.0, next-generation NVIDIA NVLink and OpenCAPI, which combined canaccelerate data movement, calculatedat9.5x[3, 4]fasterthan PCI-E 3.0 based x86 systems.
The system was designed to drive demonstrable performance improvements across popular AI frameworkssuch as Chainer, TensorFlow and Caffe, as well as accelerated data bases such as Kinetica.
As a result, data scientists can build applications faster, ranging from deep learning insights in scientific research, real-time fraud detection and credit risk analysis.
