Last week's news. NVIDIA has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Run:ai, an Israel-based Kubernetes-based compute management and orchestration software provider. The US semiconductor company, which has seen its stock price rise in response to demand for graphics processing units (GPUs) for modern AI computing workloads, said the deal will give customers access to the cloud and edge. He said it will enable more efficient use of AI resources across the computing engine. .
bloomberg The Santa Clara company wrote last week that its stock price soared 15% last week, adding nearly $290 billion to the company's market capitalization and marking its best weekly stock performance since May of last year. “This surge comes after companies like Metaplatform, Alphabet, and Microsoft pledged billions of dollars in AI investments,” Bloomberg said. Run:ai creates an “advanced scheduling” developer platform that optimizes the performance of GPU-powered computing infrastructure.
This allows enterprise customers to better manage and make adjustments to generative AI, recommender systems, search engines, and other workloads in distributed GPU clusters on edge cloud computing infrastructure. Run:ai says it supports all popular Kubernetes variants and integrates with third-party AI tools and frameworks. “Run:ai's customers include some of the world's largest companies across multiple industries,” the statement said.
The Run:ai platform includes a centralized interface for managing shared computing infrastructure. Ability to add different users to manage teams and provide controlled access to cluster resources. Ability to pool GPUs and share computing power (from one GPU to multiple GPUs, or [GPU] nodes…are on different clusters”); GPU cluster resource utilization is optimized.
NVIDIA said it will continue to offer Run:ai products under the same business model “for the foreseeable future” and will invest further in its Run:ai product roadmap. The Run.ai tools will be enabled on NVIDIA's DGX Cloud, which is described as an “AI platform co-designed with leading clouds” with “integrated full-stack services for generative AI” . Customers using the company's His HGX and DGX platforms will also have access to his Run:ai platform for AI workloads.
Run:ai's solutions are already integrated with certain NVIDIA software.
NVIDIA says: “By working with Run:ai, NVIDIA will provide customers with a single fabric that allows them to access GPU solutions from anywhere. , you can expect to benefit from the increased flexibility of an open architecture.”
Omri Geller, co-founder and CEO of Run:ai, said: “Run:ai has worked closely with NVIDIA since 2020 and shares our passion for helping customers get the most out of their infrastructure. We are excited to join NVIDIA. We look forward to continuing our journey together.”
