"Intel is laser-focused on helping our customers spur innovation and discovery through the convergence of AI with HPC," said Navin Shenoy, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center Group.

The collaboration plans to focus on three areas: systems and solutions, software optimisation for HPC and AI convergence and ecosystem enablement.
