TensorFlow Introduction What is TensorFlow

TensorFlow is on it’s way to becoming the “standard” framework for machine learning. There are many reasons for that, and, it is not just for machine learning! In this post I’ll give a descriptive introduction to TensorFlow. This is the first post in a series on how to work with TensorFlow. Hopefully after reading thsi you will have a better understanding of the What? and Why? of TensorFlow.

The Storm That Is Fortnite

It’s been a few years since a game caught the interest of my family.

I worked in sales at Puget Systems when I began hearing customers mention a game called Minecraft. The simple, blocky nature of the game carried over to the hardware requirements. Minecraft didn’t require a high-end gaming rig. My three oldest couldn’t get enough of building homes, trying to stay alive and setting anything they could find on fire with lava.

GPU Technology Conference 2018

Puget Systems will be exhibiting at this year’s GPU Technology Conference, March 26th – 29th. We will be displaying our new GPU accelerated workstations including those for photogrammetry, rendering, virtual reality and machine learning. Come meet with us at Booth #705!

NAMD Performance on Xeon-Scalable 8180 and 8 GTX 1080Ti GPUs

This post will look at the molecular dynamics program, NAMD. NAMD has good GPU acceleration but is heavily dependent on CPU performance as well. It achieves best performance when there is a proper balance between CPU and GPU. The system under test has 2 Xeon 8180 28-core CPU’s. That’s the current top of the line Intel processor. We’ll see how many GPU’s we can add to those Xeon 8180 CPU’s to get optimal CPU/GPU compute balance with NAMD.
