Intel Declares War on GPUs at Disputed HPC, AI Border
Interesting article presenting a &quot;war&quot; between Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU.<p>I&#x27;m curious where AMD falls in this war. While it&#x27;s true GPU can provide really nice theoritical TFLOPS, the cost of moving data in and out of the GPU&#x27;s memory is a well known issue. This renders GPU much less attractive for real applications.<p>The reason I mentioned AMD is that I read some time ago about their Heterogeneous system architecture [1]. One of the HSA&#x27;s goal is to get rid of the particular issue of moving that data. I wonder if this was adopted in any HPC cluster or anywhere else.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.amd.com&#x2F;resources&#x2F;heterogeneous-computing&#x2F;what-is-heterogeneous-system-architecture-hsa&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.amd.com&#x2F;resources&#x2F;heterogeneous-computing&#x2F;w...</a>
