How to Optimize Transformer-Based Models for Low-Precision Training

Transformer architectures are the backbone of many modern large language and generative AI models. As these models grow in size, training runs consume more GPU... Transformer architectures are the backbone of many modern large language and generative AI models. As these models grow in size, training runs consume more GPU hours and more engineering iteration time. Accelerating transformers is therefore not just a performance optimization, but directly affects how quickly teams can experiment and

Introducing Brazos: Bringing liquid cooling to air-cooled data centers

Next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) chips routinely exceed 1000 W Thermal Design Power (TDP). Simply put, standard air cooling cannot manage these extreme heat loads. The alternative — retrofitting entire data center facilities with chilled water loops — requires extensive amounts of capital and time. To solve this problem, Google developed Brazos, a rack-mounted, closed-loop liquid-to-air cooling system that lets you deploy high-density, liquid-cool
