This article originally appeared in USENIX ;login: magazine, shepherded by Rik Farrow. As AI models grow larger and more complex, traditional computing architectures are hitting performance and efficiency limits. A new class of hardware, wafer-scale AI chips, pushes these boundaries by integrating hundreds of thousands of cores and massive on-chip memory onto a single wafer. … Read more
Editor’s note: For the first article of the The Next Horizon of System Intelligence series, we invite the ADRS team from Berkeley to share their recent work which has raised very active discussions in the community. AI is no longer just tuning systems as a “black box.” It’s now rewriting their core algorithms by treating … Read more
Editor’s note: The authors are opening a blog series on the timely topic of system intelligence and the future of systems research with the intelligence as a new capability. They are actively looking for contributors to share ideas, viewpoints, and experiences. Why This Blog Series? Generative AI, as represented by Large Language Models (LLMs), has … Read more
