Highlights:
HP today unveiled a set of industry-leading machine learning (ML)
solutions, including the HP Z8, the world’s most powerful
workstation for ML development1. HP Z Workstations, with new NVIDIA
technology, are ideal for local processing at the edge of the
network – giving developers more control, better performance and
added security over cloud-based solutions. The use of workstations
for machine learning development is the gateway to automating
workflows in areas such as facial identification, sentiment
analysis, fraud detection and predictive analytics.
“We’re on the cusp of a new era of innovation powered by machine
learning technology that enables customers to analyze, predict and
problem solve in ways never thought possible. Artificial
intelligence will transform workflows and empower end users to make
smarter decisions, more quickly, than ever before,” said Xavier
Garcia, vice president and general manager, HP Z Workstations, HP
Inc. “HP’s latest solutions provide ground-breaking
performance and scalability, offering the most powerful and
comprehensive ML edge computing solution. Products like the HP Z8,
the most powerful workstation for ML development, coupled with the
new NVIDIA Quadro GV100, the HP ML Developer Portal and our
expanded services offerings will undoubtedly fast-track the
adoption of machine learning.”
As machine learning algorithms advance and data sets grow, the
platform of choice for ML development is local processing at the
edge of the network. A powerful workstation can be more cost
effective than the cloud for creating complex models with mountains
of data. In addition, machine learning at the edge gives ML
developers more control, better performance and added security,
leading to faster results. Prior to this generation of HP Z Desktop
Workstations, limited power budgets prevented users from packing
their machines with enough high-performance storage such as HP Z
Turbo Drive, memory, graphics, and processing to train the model
with significant amounts of data to achieve high confidence levels.
In order to bring all that power to bear most efficiently on
solution creation, the HP ML Developers Portal now provides
state-of-the-art tools, such as HP curated software stacks, as well
as support for NVIDIA® GPU Cloud.
The time-to-market, local control, economic value, superior
power and security of HP Z Workstations are proving strong value
propositions for all developers. The power of ML edge computing
solutions is being leveraged by companies across industries, from
geosciences to gaming.
For more than 80 years, CGG, a leader in cutting-edge
geoscience, has been imaging the Earth’s subsurface to help clients
locate natural resources. CGG processes terabytes of seismic
data to help their clients find where to drill by uncovering key
geological features like faults in the bedrock.
“CGG is using AI to develop breakthrough solutions for
Geoscience,” said Steve Dominguez, team lead – Seismic
Interpretation Software, CGG. “Our terabyte-sized data sets choke
many systems, but our HP Z Workstation platform for Machine
Learning at the Edge can handle these extreme workloads. This
enables CGG to create our models faster and at lower cost than
cloud or other options.”
In addition to enhancing productivity in commercial industries,
machine learning is also impacting creative professionals, enabling
them to offer uniquely enhanced experiences to their customers.
“Mobalytics is all about using AI-based machine learning to help
gamers understand their performance and provide them with
personalized advice on how they can improve their gaming skills,”
said Bogdan Suchyk, CEO and Co-Founder of Mobalytics. “Besides
partnering with HP’s OMEN team based on a common vision to help
gamers get better, we have also started to deploy HP’s ML solution
to be more efficient.”
The security features of HP Z Workstations, the world's most
secure desktop workstations2, is another plus for developers who
demand the protection of IP and private data. Users can protect
against the evolving malware threats with self-healing,
hardware-enforced, and manageable security solutions. Finally,
HP is extending its Device as a Service (DaaS) offering to ML
solutions. HP DaaS is a modern, multi-OS service model that
simplifies how commercial organizations equip users with the right
hardware, support and lifecycle services to get the job done –
improving end-user productivity, IT efficiency and cost
predictability.*
