Unleashing AI's Potential: Assessing GPU Availability
Originally Published 2 years ago — by VentureBeat
The demand for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to fuel AI technology is surging, but there is a limited supply, threatening to hinder AI's potential. The shortage of GPUs, caused by factors such as increased demand during the pandemic and scalpers using automated bots, is impacting various industries. As large-scale deep learning projects and AI applications continue to rise, businesses are facing challenges in obtaining the necessary hardware, dampening their capacity for innovation. To adapt, enterprises can consider alternative computing solutions, develop more efficient AI algorithms, explore alternative hardware accelerators, or outsource GPU processing to cloud or computing providers. The GPU shortage presents both a challenge and an opportunity for companies to become more innovative and responsive.
