Breaking down the #AI inference challenge ?? At #SC24, #theCUBE’s John Furrier sat down with Sid Sheth, founder and CEO of d-Matrix, to explore the intricate mechanics of AI #inference and the immense computational demands it brings.? “Inference is basically … you take the data and you're essentially running it through the model in a forward pass, and all the model has to do is make a bunch of decisions. There's a lot of math … matrix math, non-linear math … the neural network mathematics of getting to a decision,” Sheth explained.? Sheth outlined the three core elements driving inference performance: compute, memory bandwidth and memory capacity — a trifecta crucial for processing large datasets and maintaining model context in real time. ??

Grading 2024: How did #EnterpriseTech predictions hold up? ?? In the latest #BreakingAnalysis by #theCUBE’s David Vellante, we reflect on the successes and challenges of 2024 enterprise tech predictions. From budget pressures in global tech spending to the incremental gains of #AI ROI, the year showcased a mix of breakthroughs and lingering hurdles. “Our philosophy remains consistent: A good prediction should be testable, enabling us to look back a year later and determine, with confidence and supporting data, whether it held true … Overall, we grade ourselves a solid B on our 2024 predictions,” Vellante wrote. Generative AI continues to dominate conversations, with privacy concerns driving hybrid and on-prem solutions, while cybersecurity spending faced consolidation fatigue. Meanwhile, trends such as data governance and domain-specific AI models took center stage, reshaping priorities across industries. Curious about what’s ahead for 2025?

The future of #AI infrastructure lies in adaptive fabrics and built-in resilience. ?? At #SC24, #theCUBE hosts John Furrier and Savannah Peterson sat down with James Wynia, director of product management networking, Enterprise Solutions Group, at Dell Technologies, and Hemal Shah, distinguished engineer and architect at Broadcom, to explore how adaptive fabrics are transforming AI clusters. “Fabric management becomes a huge challenge for anybody deploying this at scale. You need fabrics smart enough that they have built-in resiliency. The transport or reliability is also built-in, and these are the kinds of intelligence we bring in to make fabric deployment easy and running all the time,” Shah said. ??
