Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have become critical in scientific applications to help accelerate scientific discovery. Large language models (LLMs) are being considered as a promising approach to address some of the challenging problems because of their superior generalization capabilities across domains. The effectiveness of the models and the accuracy of the applications is contingent upon their efficient execution on the underlying hardware infrastructure. Specialized AI accelerator hardware systems have recently become available for accelerating AI applications. However, the comparative performance of these AI accelerators on large language models has not been previously studied. In this paper, we systematically study LLMs on multiple AI accelerators and GPUs and evaluate their performance characteristics for these models. We evaluate these systems with (i) a micro-benchmark using a core transformer block, (ii) a GPT- 2 model, and (iii) an LLM-driven science use case, GenSLM. We present our findings and analyses of the models' performance to better understand the intrinsic capabilities of AI accelerators. Furthermore, our analysis takes into account key factors such as sequence lengths, scaling behavior, sparsity, and sensitivity to gradient accumulation steps.

The basic, free-to-all iCloud features are desperately in need of some tender ministrations.

As with all its services, Apple offers no real troubleshooting when iCloud Drive synchronization stalls in macOS. Glenn Fleishman encountered a problem that took months to diagnose and fix. In the process, he went through the wringer of trying nearly everything suggested online, via Apple support, and from colleagues. In the end, the magic that fixed it was undisclosed engineers.

Younger employees especially are calling in sick more than they used to, and some employers say it’s costing them money.

Kubernetes has revolutionized container orchestration, and Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is one of the most popular managed Kubernetes solutions available today. While getting started with EKS and Kubernetes is relatively straightforward, mastering advanced networking topics is essential for managing complex workloads and achieving optimal performance. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore advanced networking concepts in EKS and Kubernetes, accompanied by code examples and practical insights. 1. VPC Design and EKS Setup When working with EKS, it’s crucial to have a well-architected VPC.
