6G — the next generation of wireless technology after 5G

Agentic AI — AI systems that act autonomously as agents to achieve goals with minimal human supervision.

AI accelerator—specialized hardware designed to execute AI algorithms faster and more efficiently than traditional processors.

AI compute cluster—a network of interconnected computing resources that work together as a unified system to handle AI workloads.

AI compute rack—a specialized server rack designed to house and support high performance computing infrastructure required for artificial intelligence workloads.

AI layers — capture the depth of the model and are the structural components of neural networks that process and transform data through interconnected nodes, enabling hierarchical learning and pattern recognition.

Amdahl’s Law — the performance improvement gained by optimizing one part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is used.

Batch inference — the process of generating predictions from a machine learning model on a large dataset in batches, typically scheduled at regular intervals.
