I/ONX HPC Announces Heterogeneous Compute Platform for AI/ML
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--I/ONX High Performance Compute today announced its emergence from stealth mode with the unveiling of the world's first fully functional AI Heterogeneous Compute Platform, a groundbreaking milestone in AI that will redefine enterprise AI/ML compute infrastructure. The future of computing is not tied to a single processor architecture, but to flexibility and orchestration across all compute types. I/ONX's customizable heterogeneous compute platform is capable of orchestrating any chipset—CPU, GPU, ASIC, and/or FPGA—within a rack-scale system. The platform can scale up AI/ML as business needs evolve. "We believe the future of computing is not tied to a single processor architecture, but to flexibility and orchestration across all compute types," says Justyn Hornor, CEO of the company. "Our platform allows any enterprise to unify disparate chipsets under a single software-defined fabric—from AI training workloads to edge deployments—with our focus on extremely low-latency network and advanced software applications." I/ONX worked with Slalom, a leading global business and technology consulting firm, to independently test the platform and determine key elements of the ecosystem profile and performance criteria. 'Slalom has deep expertise and interest in innovating on the frontiers of cutting-edge AI/ML,' said Chris Samuels, director at Slalom. 'We're committed to exploring the growth of sustainable and responsible AI, so our customers can expand their horizons and explore new possibilities in the democratization of AI.' The I/ONX platform supports standard Python-based workflows on GPUs while also offering Rust-based fused kernels for ultra-low-latency performance across multiple processor classes. Multiple large AI models were tested and exceeded state-of-the-art speeds, for example, Whisper V3 Large. Key Highlights from the testing revealed: Verified operation across CPU, GPU, ASIC, and FPGA environments Scale-up architecture with flexible rack-level orchestration Seamless compatibility with Python-based data science and AI workflows Advanced Rust-based fused kernels for high-performance execution Greater than State-of-the-Art speeds on multiple complex models Note: Further details available upon request. Customer Use Cases: An AI lab team will be deploying custom FPGAs alongside enterprise GPUs and ASICs, leveraging I/ONX's unified orchestration. A research group will run advanced simulation models, where ASICs manage pre-processing and enterprise GPUs perform the heavy-lifting computations. With this public reveal, I/ONX is inviting early customers, research labs, and hyperscalers to engage in pilot deployments and joint development opportunities via our waiting list at The company's technology enables customers to future-proof their infrastructure while achieving performance levels previously restricted to proprietary, closed-box systems.

Create Account The shooting in West Valley City a day after an apparently unrelated shooting killed a man at a 'No Kings' protest made for an unusually violent weekend in the Salt Lake City area. Police working at WestFest at Centennial Park, about 6 miles (10 kilometers) southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, saw the two groups Sunday night. 'As they approached to break up the altercation, a 16-year-old male from one of the groups pulled out a gun and fired,' the department posted on X. One officer fired back but did not hit anyone. The shooter struck and killed an 18-year-old man in one of the groups, police said. Besides the infant, a 41-year-old woman bystander also was killed. Two other teens, a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, were both hit in the arm, police said. It was not clear if they were connected to the groups involved.

The 16-year-old was quickly taken into custody, police said. His name would not be released because he was a juvenile, West Valley City spokesperson Roxeanne Vainuku said at a news conference late Sunday. Police were interviewing witnesses to find out more about what happened, Vainuku said. 'We don't know yet if this was gang related. We do know that we have two groups of people who were having some sort of a verbal altercation,' Vainuku said. An estimated 10,000 people were at the carnival, a celebration of the establishment of West Valley City and of its cultural diversity. The apparently unrelated shooting at the 'No Kings' protest the day before happened when a man believed to be part of a peacekeeping team for the rally shot at a man brandishing a rifle at demonstrators, striking both the rifleman and a bystander. The rifleman had relatively minor injuries but the bystander died at a hospital. Toronto Maple Leafs Toronto & GTA Music Canada Canada
