Starting with any relevant education, walk me through the twists and turns of your career to date? How did one opportunity lead to the next + what was the key takeaway/ experience in each role + how did this lead you to where you are now
AI is defining the next era of computing, and this is just the beginning. Innovation is occurring at an exponential rate by large players, startups, and especially in the open-source community. From extremely large-language-model processing in the cloud, to low-precision inferencing on endpoints, to diverse, often real-time, constraints in the middle, AI is driving unique and demanding compute requirements. In this session, Vamsi will provide insights into these challenges and discuss how AMD is enabling AI adoption pervasively, across cloud to edge and endpoints -- with compelling, scalable, compute architectures that deliver exceptional power efficiency and TCO -- and with open software and deep ecosystem partnerships to empower innovators.
