A New Era in AI-Powered Healthcare with AIVAS Personal
Supercomputers
The increasing complexity of applications in fields like digital
pathology, neurology, genetics research, radiation oncology, and
cardiac imaging demand robust computational power and efficiency.
AIVAS addresses market demand by offering the highest compute
density and energy efficiency for low-latency, mission-critical
workflows and secured workloads. AIVAS enables next-generation
high-throughput sequencing algorithms, computational mass
spectrometry, and bioinformatics automation by providing the
ability to use advance bioinformatics techniques in clinical
environments. This provides a unique opportunity for more accurate
insights and faster results when most critically needed. AIVAS
enables real-time data visualization and processing of computed
tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for use
cases ranging from cortical reconstructions to image reconstruction
of positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
Meet the World’s Most Powerful All-in-One
Enthusiasm for AIVAS is uniquely pronounced in the
bioinformatics software engineering community. With maximum
compute, unified memory, storage, high-bandwidth network
throughput, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Data Center grade
AI accelerators, new use cases and applications are being created
at an accelerated pace.
Key Features of AIVAS
- High Performance: AIVAS is capable of over 1,000
trillion operations per second (TOPS), leveraging a cloud-native
CPU and four NVIDIA GPUs, packing the equivalent compute capacity
of two full cloud-native AI servers.
- Future-proof Architecture: AIVAS features 128 CPU Cores
with 256 Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) advanced vector
engines, 28,416 NVIDIA CUDA GPU Cores with 92 gigabytes (GBs) of
GPU unified high-bandwidth memory, and 2,048 GBs (2TB) of unified
system memory.
- Precision and Efficiency: Provides unparalleled
precision, real-time data visualization, and processing with the
highest energy efficiency on the market at only 700 watts.
- Extensive Software Support: Access to over 1,000
validated and verified software packages ranging from genomic
alignment to sequence mapping.
- Privacy, Security and Compliance: Researchers and
clinicians have full control, security and protection for data,
algorithms, pipelines and applications. With regular software
updates meeting the highest level of stability and robustness.
Real-World Impact
AIVAS has been met with enthusiasm and validation from early
adopters, including researchers from the Stanford Medical School
Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences and the Acacia
Clinics.
Dr. Danielle D. DeSouza, Vice-President of Research at Acacia
Clinics and Research Staff at Stanford University, Department of
Neurology, shared her experience, saying, “Performing cortical
reconstruction with AIVAS was significantly faster than traditional
computers. We reduced individual subject reconstructions from over
24 hours to under 2 hours per subject and could parallelize to
perform hundreds of subjects at a time. Clinical trial cohort
pre-processing that used to take weeks to months was completed in
under a week.”
Transforming Healthcare with AI
AIVAS enables surgeons and medical physicists to conduct
real-time reconstructions using industry-standard DICOM images and
videos, including CT and MRI scans. Leveraging the parallel
processing power of both CPU and GPU with a unified memory
architecture, AIVAS handles large datasets efficiently and
significantly boosts medical reconstruction performance.
