Denmark's new AI supercomputer Gefion ranked as 7th fastest storage systems in the world - Denmark's state-of-the-art AI supercomputer, Gefion, has achieved another global recognition by ranking 7th overall and 4th in the 10-node benchmark on the internationally recognised IO500 list. Gefion, Denmark's cutting-edge AI supercomputer, has secured a prominent position as the 7th fastest production storage system globally, while also ranking 4th in the 10-node benchmark on the IO500 list, which rates the world's fastest storage systems annually. This recognition highlights Gefion's exceptional data-handling capabilities, positioning it not only as a standout AI and high-performance computing resource but also as one of the most efficient data-handling systems worldwide. In addition to this achievement, Gefion recently ranked 21st globally on the TOP500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers, further cementing its status as a high-performance powerhouse. The IO500 benchmarks evaluate the ability of supercomputers to read, write and transport data at lightning-fast speeds, a crucial factor in modern AI and high-performance computing. Gefion's performance on this list reinforces its reputation as a cutting-edge system, excelling both in computational power and data management efficiency. The significance of this 7th-place ranking lies in Gefion's outstanding input/output (IO) performance — its speed in accessing, retrieving, and storing data. This capability is vital for AI model training and complex large-scale simulations, where processing vast data sets — often measured in petabytes — can be completed in days or hours instead of weeks. "Gefion's ranking on the IO500 list is another testament to our commitment to pushing technological boundaries in advanced computing for AI and research," says Nadia Carlsten, CEO of the Danish Centre for AI Innovation (DCAI), which runs and operates Gefion.  "The powerful data storage and processing capabilities of Gefion mean that researchers can run larger, more intricate simulations and process datasets faster than ever," she continues. Strong IO performance can directly contribute to breakthroughs in areas such as climate modelling, drug discovery, and sustainable energy research. "Gefion is a monumental step forward for AI research and innovation, delivering the scale and precision needed to tackle the most complex challenges in fields like healthcare, sustainable energy, and quantum computing," says Alex Bouzari, Co-founder and CEO of Data Direct Networks (DDN), who is supplying storage for the Gefion AI supercomputer. "By combining DDN's industry-leading data platform with NVIDIA's groundbreaking technology, Gefion is not only advancing Denmark's leadership in AI but also enabling a new era of scientific discovery and global progress. We're proud to support this world-class initiative, which epitomizes the transformative power of AI and HPC when supported by the right infrastructure", he adds. Gefion's technological backbone includes NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD architecture, featuring 1,528 NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs interconnected with NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking. These components ensure not only unmatched processing power but also superior data access speeds, an essential factor for projects that rely on rapid results. DCAI designed Gefion with future scalability and flexibility in mind, allowing it to integrate upcoming generations of NVIDIA accelerated computing technologies, ensuring that Denmark remains at the forefront of AI and high-performance computing innovation.

Jheilyn Cermeño Una operación de rescate se ejecuta este lunes después de que parte de un edificio se derrumbara en Davenport, Florida, Estados Unidos (EEUU). Medios locales informaron que hubo heridos, pero no dijeron cuántos. Tampoco han precisado si hubo víctimas mortales. El jefe de bomberos de Davenport, Michael Carlsten, detalló en rueda de prensa que no estaba claro cuántas personas, si es que había alguna. El colapso De acuerdo con el reporte, los equipos de rescate acudieron al lugar poco antes de las 5:00 de la tarde del domingo. Asimismo, bomberos rescataron a siete personas y escoltaron a más de una decena fuera del edificio en su respuesta inicial. Se conoció que la parte trasera del complejo de seis pisos se derrumbó. La estructura alberga apartamentos en los pisos superiores y negocios en la planta baja. Las autoridades hallaron una fuga de gas tras el derrumbe, dijo Carlsten, mientras que también se había filtrado agua por los niveles de la estructura.   Para recibir en tu celular esta y otras informaciones, únete a nuestras redes sociales, síguenos en Instagram, Twitter y Facebook como @DiarioElPepazo El Pepazo/2001/Agencias

Sitting in Traffic for Just Two Hours Can Damage Your Brain, Study Finds

In a first-ever controlled experiment to show evidence of altered brain network connectivity in humans after exposure to air pollution, signs of decreased brain function can appear in as little as two hours after exposure to traffic pollution.

A study released by a team at the University of British Columbia reveals that exposure to diesel exhaust fumes can have disastrous effects on your brain. This may be worse if you find yourself sitting in traffic during your daily commute to, or from the office.

In order to arrive at this conclusion the study focused on the brain’s functional connectivity: a measure that tests how well different parts of the brain are able to communicate or interact with one another. The team briefly exposed 25 healthy adults to either diesel exhaust or filtered air in the lab and used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure the participant’s brains before and after each exposure.

The study looked at the participants' brain default mode network (DMN), which is where internal thoughts and memories are stored. They found that after the brain is exposed to diesel exhaust, the DMN has less activity than those in the study who were exposed to filtered air.

“We know that altered functional connectivity in the DMN has been associated with reduced cognitive performance and symptoms of depression, so it’s concerning to see traffic pollution interrupting these same networks,” explains Jodie Gawryluk, the study’s first author and a psychology professor at the University of Victoria.

“While more research is needed to fully understand the functional impacts of these changes, it’s possible that they may impair people’s thinking or ability to work.”

Fortunately, the participant’s brain function returned to normal after their short-term exposure, however the researchers speculate that long-term exposure (such as sitting in traffic for hours at a time) could lead to permanent brain damage.

“People may want to think twice the next time they’re stuck in traffic with the windows rolled down,” says Carlsten. “It’s important to ensure that your car’s air filter is in good working order, and if you’re walking or biking down a busy street, consider diverting to a less busy route.”

In 2008, a separate study done by Dutch researchers at Zuyd University also found that exposure to diesel exhaust triggers the stress response part of the brain. Those researchers also speculated that long-term exposure to diesel could have lasting, negative effects on brain health.
