• Intel at MWC: Panel Discusses “How is the O-RU reference architecture driving 5G Radio Development?” Telecom operators need to reduce development time and while implementing new solutions to increase the performance and reliability of 5G networks in a cost-effective manner. Operators have already implemented open systems in their network cores and virtualizing functions, and now they want to achieve the same benefits with RANs including Radio Units (RUs). The Open RU (O-RU) roadmap covers both...

• Learn to use Data Parallel C++ to accelerate MapReduce processing at this ISC oneAPI Dev Summit session on June 23 Many workloads have inherent data parallelism which can be leveraged to achieve optimal performance. However, it is challenging to design data parallel programs and map them to different hardware targets. Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) is an open alternative for cross-architecture development, aiming to address this challenge. A session titled “Word-Count with MapReduce on FPGA, A DPC++ Example” at the upcoming...

• Can FPGAs outperform GPUs for some AI workloads? Answer: Yes For many AI workloads, it can be challenging to achieve the full compute capacity reported by GPU vendors. Even for highly parallel computation such as general matrix multiplication (GEMM), GPUs can only achieve high utilization at certain large matrix sizes. FPGAs offer a different approach to AI-optimized hardware. Unlike GPUs, FPGAs offer unique fine-grained spatial reconfigurability where the output of...
