During Day 2 of our coverage of

SC16, we learned a lot about how

HPC, data analytics, and AI are

coming together.

And why it’s natural that this disciplines

go together.

In order to solve these problems, we need a combination of deep learning neural networks and extremelylarge data sets.

OpenPOWER is paving the way for them to adopt an

HPC infrastructure to solve all kinds of challenges!

When it comes to processors, POWER8 is the

clear choice, after all we have…
