Data collected in the most recent iteration of the Hyperion Research Global End-User Multi-Client Study indicates a strikingly low usage of AI-specific software licenses across all sectors, especially academia and government. This research revealed that only 3.5% of academic and government respondents, combined, were currently using licensed AI software, while the entire survey group exhibited a usage rate of 13.8%. Respondents representing academic sites were the least likely to answer positively in paying for AI software licenses, with a rate of 1.9%, and industry were the most likely at 21.1%. This data indicates an overwhelming preference for open source and in-house solutions for AI software, including training analytics and library interface tools, over proprietary AI[1]specific software offerings currently on the market.

This Quick Take looks at Amazon's recent announcement of a new EC2 Bare Metal offering that provides users with direct, non-virtualized access to a processor, memory, storage and related networking instance. Amazon uses custom hardware in an effort to wring out the highest possible performance from the basic hardware set up while still offering a full complement of cloud-based software support. This development is a positive one for HPC users looking to migrate workloads to public clouds as Amazon is addressing one of the most vexinghurdles of HPC in the cloud: the performance overhead of running applicationsin a virtualized, performance limiting environment.
