How to improve spectral efficiency and overall performance per watt? In this blog, the approach of accelerated computing and how it applies to RAN and spectral efficiency is presented. Many wireless algorithms and techniques exist that improve wireless performance and hence spectral efficiency; however, they need lots of compute power. This is where Aerial on NVIDIA Accelerated Computing solves these challenges. The outcome is a better TCO for the telco. Thanks to the team on putting this together.

Well put Kurt Busch. It doesn't seem well understood that deep learning is the killer tool for both application outcomes delivered on servers like OpenAI, and physical-to-digital interface on terminal devices with a variety of input and output modalities including sight, sound, motion, touch, environment (temperature, pressure, moisture, ....), radar, lidar, bio (EMG, EEG, ....) etc.. Battery-powered devices with deep learning sensory understanding are the next architectural step beyond plain signal transport. However, developmental and device economics must remain in acceptable envelopes -- nobody will pay $500 for a glass break sensor no matter how great. And the deep learning models must deliver production performance -- nobody will pay a red cent for a glass break sensor that mistakes any sharp sound for a window breaking. Cost-effective, high-performance deep learning electronics and production off-the-shelf and customized models are the central technology for the next wave of terminals from earbuds to automobiles to satellites.

Efficient Power Conversion Corp (EPC), headquartered in El Segundo, CA, specializes in gallium nitride on silicon (eGaN) power FETs and integrated circuits for power management applications, with recent validation of their GaN intellectual property rights by the US International Trade Commission (ITC). The ITC upheld EPC's patents and found Innoscience Technology Co Ltd guilty of infringing EPC’s foundational patent, potentially leading to a ban on importing their products into the USA. This ruling is a significant validation of nearly two decades of EPC's hard work and research, reflecting the importance of their intellectual property portfolio. The ITC's final determination is expected on November 5.

The technology world seems to be more engaged and prepared for new AI model releases than just a few months ago. With Meta releasing the Llama 3 model just today, I've seen performance results and readiness for platforms from Intel Corporation and Qualcomm. AMD highlighted its partnership, but hasn't showed specifics as yet. Intel has the most robust testing so far, showing results on Gaudi 2, Xeon, Core Ultra integrated graphics and Arc A770 discrete GPU: https://lnkd.in/gjB85SgQ Snapdragon says that tools "will be available" to run Llama 3 on its platforms, just not posted on their AI Hub yet: https://lnkd.in/gEqCfbqn

NVIDIA's new private 5G network at their Santa Clara HQ is a great step forward for 5G Standalone (5G SA) implementation and evolution. While large carriers have hesitated to lean into 5G SA, innovators like NVIDIA, building the underlying technology and initial test beds, create the momentum needed to make these next-level investments and cultivate the new revenues long promised by 5G. Increasingly, as NVIDIA and other ORAN platforms reach scale, telecoms will have to rethink where such investments and workloads are hosted as they move more and more to metro-aggregated, multi-tenant facilities like data centers to achieve the best cost efficiencies and meet the latency demands that will come with 5G SA applications. And best of all, it will lead to the thaw sorely needed for the current 5G winter. #5G #NVIDIA #ORAN #telecom #datacenter https://lnkd.in/gDYdbfnN

Today’s Lunar Lake architecture news was a huge highlight at #Computex2024. While onstage, Pat Gelsinger revealed the architectural details of Lunar Lake – our flagship processor for the next generation of AI PCs. Lunar Lake was redesigned from the ground up to set a new bar for x86 power efficiency and unmatched #AI compute. It includes new P-cores and E-cores that deliver significant performance and energy efficiency improvements, a fourth-generation NPU with over 48 TOPS of AI performance – 3x faster than the previous generation – and an all-new GPU with improved gaming and graphics performance. Lunar Lake is an example of our IDM 2.0 strategy that empowers design teams to select the optimal process technologies that meet our product timing and performance goals. These processors will power more than 80 different AI PC designs from 20 OEMs, as we expect to deploy more than 40 million Core Ultra processors in market this year...it’s a big year for AI PCs, to say the least!
