Next generation algorithm advances machine learning of powerful supercomputers

Summary

A KAUST-led team in collaboration with Japan's National Institute of Informatics and Cray Inc. has implemented a new algorithm to harness the power of supercomputers. The algorithm integrates new singular value decomposition (SVD) codes into Cray LibSci scientific libraries, supporting machine learning and data de-noising applications. This was achieved through the Cray Center of Excellence (CCOE) at KAUST, established in 2015. Why it matters: The new algorithm helps to optimize the use of advanced supercomputing infrastructure in the region, specifically KAUST's Shaheen II, for computationally intensive AI applications.
