Investing in GenAI: Cost‑benefit analysis of Dell on‑premises deployments vs....Principled Technologies
Conclusion
Diving into the world of GenAI has the potential to yield a great many benefits for your organization, but it first requires consideration for how best to implement those GenAI workloads. Whether your AI goals are to create a chatbot for online visitors, generate marketing materials, aid troubleshooting, or something else, implementing an AI solution requires careful planning and decision-making. A major decision is whether to host GenAI in the cloud or keep your data on premises. Traditional on-premises solutions can provide superior security and control, a substantial concern when dealing with large amounts of potentially sensitive data. But will supporting a GenAI solution on site be a drain on an organization’s IT budget?
In our research, we found that the value proposition is just the opposite: Hosting GenAI workloads on premises, either in a traditional Dell solution or using a managed Dell APEX pay-per-use solution, could significantly lower your GenAI costs over 3 years compared to hosting these workloads in the cloud. In fact, we found that a comparable AWS SageMaker solution would cost up to 3.8 times as much and an Azure ML solution would cost up to 3.6 times as much as GenAI on a Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. These results show that organizations looking to implement GenAI and reap the business benefits to come can find many advantages in an on-premises Dell solution, whether they opt to purchase and manage it themselves or choose a subscription-based Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. Choosing an on-premises Dell solution could save your organization significantly over hosting GenAI in the cloud, while giving you control over the security and privacy of your data as well as any updates and changes to the environment, and while ensuring your environment is managed consistently.
Workstations powered by Intel can play a vital role in CPU-intensive AI devel...Principled Technologies
In three AI development workflows, Intel processor-powered workstations delivered strong performance, without using their GPUs, making them a good choice for this part of the AI process
Conclusion
We executed three AI development workflows on tower workstations and mobile workstations from three vendors, with each workflow utilizing only the Intel CPU cores, and found that these platforms were suitable for carrying out various AI tasks. For two of the workflows, we learned that completing the tasks on the tower workstations took roughly half as much time as on the mobile workstations. This supports the idea that the tower workstations would be appropriate for a development environment for more complex models with a greater volume of data and that the mobile workstations would be well-suited for data scientists fine-tuning simpler models. In the third workflow, we explored tower workstation performance with different precision levels and learned that using 16-bit floating point precision allowed the workstations to execute the workflow in less time and also reduced memory usage dramatically. For all three AI workflows we executed, we consider the time the workstations needed to complete the tasks to be acceptable, and believe that these workstations can be appropriate, cost-effective choices for these kinds of activities.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

1. Shorten the time from conception
to execution with the HP ZBook
Studio 16 G10
Comparing the HP ZBook Studio G10 with an Intel Core
i9-13900H processor to the HP ZBook Studio G9 with
an Intel Core i9-12900H processor
For technical professionals and content creators on the move, the
right mobile workstation is one that can enable inspiration, helping
them turn their ideas into reality as quickly as possible. That’s
easier said than done when the ideas involve complex graphics,
renders, simulations, and videos. These teams need fast, powerful
workstations to handle both compute-intensive graphics work and
everyday office tasks. Newer technologies can often provide a
performance boost.
To quantify just how much a newer workstation could help,
we compared the new HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 with a 13th
Generation Intel®
Core™
i9-13900H processor to its predecessor,
the HP ZBook Studio 16 G9 with a 12th
Generation Intel Core i9-
12900H processor. We conducted our testing with seven different
performance benchmarks, some tailored specifically to graphics-
intensive work, as well as hand-timing two scenarios to see how
much faster the new ZBook Studio handled content creation tasks.
The new HP ZBook Studio G10 delivered standout performance in
a number of areas, offering an intriguing option to creators seeking
their next system.

storage
HP ZBook Studio 16 G9 Mobile Workstation
• Intel Core iCore i9-12900H processor
• NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti graphics card
• 32 GB of memory
• 1 TB of PCIe NVMe storage
*The graphics card differences are due to what is standard for each configuration.
To measure system performance improvements
from a variety angles, we tested with an array of
benchmark tests:
• Basemark GPU and GFXBench benchmarks
measure sustained, long-term
graphics performance
• Blender and 3DMark benchmarks
measure 3D rendering performance and speed
• Geekbench benchmarks
measure single- and multi-core CPU and
GPU performance
• Procyon Office Productivity Benchmark
measures system performance using
Microsoft 360 apps.
• Procyon AI Inference Benchmark
measures AI accelerator performance
Next, we ran two custom scenarios, which reflect
common workflows for content creation, and
timed how long it took each mobile workstation
to complete them:
• Importing and exporting 50 photos
using Adobe Lightroom Classic
• Upscaling image resolution 4x
using Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI
The benchmark scores and hand-timed content creation results we report reflect the specific configurations we tested.
Any difference in the configurations you test, as well as screen brightness, network traffic, or software additions, can
affect these results. For a deeper dive into our testing parameters and procedures, see the science behind the report.

3. Comparing performance using benchmarks
Creative work involves brainstorming, ideating, and left-brain problem-solving—but when push comes to shove,
it also requires buckling down and doing the work. A newer mobile workstation can enable both productivity and
creativity by reducing the time it takes to create graphics, videos, visual effects, and CAD objects, not to mention
handle the normal business work that every office worker has from time to time. Keeping these goals in mind, we
tested the HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 Mobile Workstation against its predecessor using a variety of benchmarks.
Why CPU and GPU benchmarks matter
CPU performance affects tasks such as checking your email, editing a picture, and playing music—whether you’re
doing each individually or all of it simultaneously. Professional workflows also increasingly involve GPU-driven
elements, including AI, ray-traced rendering, computer-aided engineering (CAE), simulations, larger models and
datasets, and high-resolution content.
About the Intel Core i9-13900H processor
According to Intel, 13th
Generation Intel Core processors feature “technologies
for data-intensive applications, ultra-fast connectivity, accelerated AI workloads,
and power-performance optimization.”2
This 13th
Generation Intel Core i9 H
series processor is “ultraportable,” designed to power gaming, creating, and
multitasking on-the-go.3
With six performance-cores, eight efficient-cores, and
20 threads, it has some specifications identical to the 12th
Generation Intel
Core i9-12900H we’re comparing it to. But with a higher core frequency—4.1 –
5.4GHz, compared to the previous-generation processor’s 3.8 – 5.0 GHz—the
13th
Generation Intel Core i9-19900H processor can deliver faster clock speeds.4

4. Speed up your renders
Complex renders have the power to create immersive environments in games, thrilling visuals in videos, and
helpfully detailed models for architecture and engineering projects. But getting these benefits requires some
serious computing power. Showing all the detail in the render is also a compute-intensive, graphics-intensive
task. We used multiple benchmarks to show the benefits of the HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 on these tasks that are
vital to content creators.

capture, computer vision, and machine learning8
—employees can get their work done faster. And while gaming
isn’t a part of every workstation user’s everyday activities, with processors and graphics cards that can handle
tough gaming workloads, your workstations could process complex information and deliver important results
quicker to engineers, scientists, and more. Across the benchmarks we ran in this area, we saw the HP ZBook
Studio 16 G10 Mobile Workstation offer notably higher scores than its predecessor, indicating that this new
system could offer the boost in efficiency you’re looking for.

8. Hand-timed photo task comparisons
Whether your project is in pre-production, production, or post-production, a mobile workstation that can
power your team through each stage of the process can save time—which may translate to more time for
reviewing, pivoting to other projects, or perfecting the details. In our hand-timed tests, we focused on two
key parts of a creative workflow to see how teams could benefit from choosing the HP ZBook Studio 16 G10
Mobile Workstation.
Save time processing images
With the power of deep learning technology, AI image
upscalers can improve photo quality by enhancing
details and resolution. The Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI
application is one such image upscaler that enlarges
and enhances images with machine learning.14
In
this hand-timed test, we upscaled a 4284x2844
resolution image to a 17136x11376 resolution image
using the Gigapixel AI app—that’s an enhancement
of four times. The newer HP ZBook Studio 16 G10
Mobile Workstation saved 8 seconds compared to
its predecessor, a noticeable difference when you’re
trying to move at the speed of your ideas.

Save time importing images
When photography and graphics teams can speed
up the image import process, they have more time to
spend putting those photos to work in their marketing
collateral. And when weeding through hundreds or
thousands of photos, any time they save can quickly
compound. We looked at how long it took both
systems to import photos into Adobe Lightroom
Classic, which enables teams to edit, organize, store,
and share images with a local file- or folder-based
workflow.15
Again, here, the newer system saved time.
Import 50 photos using Adobe Lightroom Classic

9. Conclusion
Transforming an idea into reality is never easy, especially when it involves complex graphics or 3D renders, but
a capable workstation can make all the difference. We used a variety of benchmarks, as well as two hand-timed
tasks, to show the benefits of the new HP ZBook Studio 16 G10 Workstation with its 13th
Generation Intel Core
i9-13900H processor compared to its predecessor, the HP ZBook Studio 16 G9. We found that the newer ZBook
Studio G10 achieved higher scores on benchmarks measuring graphics and AI inference performance, among
others, and sped the time to upscale an image and import photos. With a workstation like this, your technical
professionals and creative teams could speed the time from brainstorming to finished product.
