Mainframe AI: Powering generative AI systems [Video]

The history of the mainframe computer goes back to the 1930s, yet this powerful system remains just as relevant as ever with the dawn of mainframe AI.

Mainframes, large computers designed to process complex calculations and manage vast amounts of data, are commonly used by major enterprises and industries such as finance, healthcare and governments to perform tasks involving intensive data processing and large-scale computation. As the computing industry grew, mainframes became key resources for powering the tech world and they are in the conversation again with the rise of AI.

“You have to look at the different tools and technologies that are out there, including the mainframe, in trying to figure out which ones are going to be the right platform for the different components of a generative AI architecture,” said David Linthicum, research analyst for theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. “There is no hard and fast definition about how to use this stuff. The architecture that you’re going to derive, …
