About IBM Watson Machine Learning Accelerator
Accelerate your deep learning workload. Speed your time to value with AI model training and inference. With advancements in compute, algorithm and data access, enterprises are adopting deep learning more widely to extract and scale insight through speech recognition, natural language processing and image classification. Deep learning can interpret text, images, audio and video at scale, generating patterns for recommendation engines, sentiment analysis, financial risk modeling and anomaly detection. High computational power has been required to process neural networks due to the number of layers and the volumes of data to train the networks. Furthermore, businesses are struggling to show results from deep learning experiments implemented in silos.

Zebra by Mipsology
Zebra by Mipsology is the ideal Deep Learning compute engine for neural network inference. Zebra seamlessly replaces or complements CPUs/GPUs, allowing any neural network to compute faster, with lower power consumption, at a lower cost. Zebra deploys swiftly, seamlessly, and painlessly without knowledge of underlying hardware technology, use of specific compilation tools, or changes to the neural network, the training, the framework, and the application. Zebra computes neural networks at world-class speed, setting a new standard for performance. Zebra runs on highest-throughput boards all the way to the smallest boards. The scaling provides the required throughput, in data centers, at the edge, or in the cloud. Zebra accelerates any neural network, including user-defined neural networks. Zebra processes the same CPU/GPU-based trained neural network with the same accuracy without any change.

AWS Neuron
It supports high-performance training on AWS Trainium-based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Trn1 instances. For model deployment, it supports high-performance and low-latency inference on AWS Inferentia-based Amazon EC2 Inf1 instances and AWS Inferentia2-based Amazon EC2 Inf2 instances. With Neuron, you can use popular frameworks, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, and optimally train and deploy machine learning (ML) models on Amazon EC2 Trn1, Inf1, and Inf2 instances with minimal code changes and without tie-in to vendor-specific solutions. AWS Neuron SDK, which supports Inferentia and Trainium accelerators, is natively integrated with PyTorch and TensorFlow. This integration ensures that you can continue using your existing workflows in these popular frameworks and get started with only a few lines of code changes. For distributed model training, the Neuron SDK supports libraries, such as Megatron-LM and PyTorch Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP).

AWS EC2 Trn3 Instances
Amazon EC2 Trn3 UltraServers are AWS’s newest accelerated computing instances, powered by the in-house Trainium3 AI chips and engineered specifically for high-performance deep-learning training and inference workloads. These UltraServers are offered in two configurations, a “Gen1” with 64 Trainium3 chips and a “Gen2” with up to 144 Trainium3 chips per UltraServer. The Gen2 configuration delivers up to 362 petaFLOPS of dense MXFP8 compute, 20 TB of HBM memory, and a staggering 706 TB/s of aggregate memory bandwidth, making it one of the highest-throughput AI compute platforms available. Interconnects between chips are handled by a new “NeuronSwitch-v1” fabric to support all-to-all communication patterns, which are especially important for large models, mixture-of-experts architectures, or large-scale distributed training.
