GPUs are known as parallel processors because they can perform tasks simultaneously. Work is divided into smaller sub-tasks, which are executed at the same time by multiple processing units. Once completed, these sub-tasks are combined to produce the final result. These processing units—including threads, warps, thread blocks, cores, and multiprocessors—share resources such as memory. This…
Alfred Wahlforss was running out of options. His startup, Listen Labs, needed to hire over 100 engineers, but competing against Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million offers seemed impossible. So he spent $5,000 — a fifth of his marketing budget — on a billboard in San Francisco displaying what looked like gibberish: five strings of random numbers….
In Part 2 of this series, we built a data structure that can query which pods have the user’s KVCache blocks in microseconds for every request. This post goes beyond the cluster and cache state to explain how Modular Cloud generates routing decisions and dispatches them across pods. Most routing stacks ship with a fixed…
NEW YORK — Nearly 1,000 people in Michigan have been diagnosed with a parasitic infection that can cause weeks of watery diarrhea, making it the largest such outbreak in state history and one of the nation’s largest in years. No deaths have been reported and the source of the cyclospora infections hasn’t been identified. Meanwhile,…

AI agents are moving from one-time assistants to persistent workers that can repeat tasks, monitor changes, run checks, update workflows, and return with results. Instead of prompting an LLM once and deciding every next step manually, teams can now use AI agents that keep working (on a Loop) until a goal or stop condition is…
Life sciences has entered an era of computational scale, and for more than a decade, NVIDIA has built the full GPU-accelerated computing stack — spanning hardware, frameworks, libraries, models, microservices and domain-specific tools — to help researchers run more sophisticated workflows and iterate faster. This week, Anthropic announced Claude Science, an AI workbench for science…
At Databricks, the way we build software is changing quickly as we aggressively adopt AI for engineering. The landscape of models and harnesses for code authoring has rapidly expanded in the last year, giving developers more choices than ever. With more options, it has become increasingly important to understand which coding agents offer the best…

A chip industry association has urged the White House not to make major changes to the way the memory market is regulated. The group, SEMI, represents most of the world’s major semiconductor equipment and materials companies as well as chipmakers. Bloomberg reported late Thursday that the association had outlined its concerns about the memory market…
