Nvidia’s H100 AI #GPUs are taking the tech world by storm, but their reign comes at the price of a hefty energy bill.
According to a report from #CBInsights and #Stocklytics.com, these power-hungry processors are projected to consume a staggering 13,797 GWh in 2024, exceeding the annual energy consumption of nations like #Georgia and #CostaRica.
Imagine this, a legacy data center consumes 10 kW/rack where #CyrusOne, #KKR owned leading global data center operator and developer specialising in #AI applications, consumes 300 kW/rack!
But why do #GPUs consume so much power?
Data center #GPUs consume a substantial amount of power primarily due to their high computational requirements and the complex algorithms they handle. These #GPUs optimize parallel processing tasks like #machinelearning and #dataanalytics, involving simultaneous processing of vast amounts of data.
While #parallel processing speeds up data processing, one demerit is that, at a time most parts of a chip are active. This constant computation, coupled with the execution of complex algorithms, demands significant computational power, thereby increasing energy consumption.
The large-scale deployment of #GPUs in data centers, where racks and clusters utilize hundreds or thousands of #GPUs further amplify their collective power consumption. This combination of factors underscores the considerable energy consumption associated with data center GPUs.
Successfully navigating these challenges and fostering innovation will shape the future landscape of #AI computing.
So, what options do we have?
● #Amazon, frenemy to Nvidia, recently unveiled Arm based Graviton4 and Trainium2 chips holds promise for efficiency gains.
● In the near to medium term, #Neuromorphic computing is being researched aggressively as an alternative to synchronous parallel computing architectures. Neuromorphic computing is an asynchronous computing paradigm which runs on event based ‘spikes’ rather than a clock signal. And drastically lowers the power consumption.
● Big money is going into enabling tech like liquid cooling - #KKR acquired CoolIT Systems for $270 mn and Bosch acquired Jetcool through its venture arm
While CooIT Systems becomes the supplier for Cyrus One, #KKR makes money on both!
It is so strange, that my posts are sometimes in German though I post them in English. It is no secret that I am German, but who the heck translates my post and why? #Akida was that you???Jetzt kommt bald raus dass hier alle aus dem BN Forum sind und einen auf Australier machen wart ab!
Besides from the German, what is the BN forum??Jetzt kommt bald raus dass hier alle aus dem BN Forum sind und einen auf Australier machen wart ab!

I hope it is a GNSS device instead of just GPS and uses the EU's Galileo - now called HAS - High Accuracy Service. Not that it is 10 or 20m off.)

Volkswagen's RooBadge AI for safer roads in Australia
Volkswagen has developed a new technology called RooBadge to reduce kangaroo collisions in Australia.
This innovative device uses artificial intelligence to deter kangaroos from approaching vehicles.
Here's how it works:
RooBadge replaces the existing front badge on Volkswagen trucks.
It uses GPS and machine learning to identify the kangaroo species in the area.
Based on this information, it emits targeted sounds, including bird calls, predator sounds, and kangaroo foot thumps, which are natural warning signs for them.
The sound is focused ahead of the car, maximizing its effectiveness.
Benefits:
Reduces the risk of kangaroo collisions, protecting both drivers and animals.
Provides valuable data through driver and wildlife agency reports, allowing for continuous improvement.
A universal version is in development, potentially deterring other animals like deer and being adaptable for global use.
RooBadge is a prime example of how AI can be used to create positive change and save lives.
What are your thoughts about this innovative?
Hey FJ, I don't think they were ever "kicked to the kerb" when the Company changed, or affirmed a strategy of selling IP..
If there were buyers for the volume of chips, that we have, I think they would have just sold them..
Pretty sure it was stated at the time, of being the start of a mass production run, so there should have been possibly a few 10s of thousands produced (although we don't know and will never know the yield percentage, with Anil on the job, I suspect it would be pretty high).
With the speed of change in technology, I think it was a wise move, to follow the IP route, but even better now, with a multi-pronged strategy.
Some keep banging on (yes I'm talking about you Iseki ) that we need to produce an AKD2000 reference chip, but there is no need as the tech can be played with in simulation.
Before the AKD1000 ES and reference chips, anybody looking at the simulations, would have thought "Yeah looks incredible, but can you really do that on a chip?"..
We don't have that problem anymore, as the core technology has been proven, in 2 processes (AKD1500).
Isn't this what we were supposed to be doing with Safran/Airbus some years ago??View attachment 60177 View attachment 60178Flawless Defect Detection with Edge Impulse and BrainChip

Was just a joke!Besides from the German, what is the BN forum??
sometimes the brain is playing games! One time i started to write something here.

But they don’t lie
