A New Era in AI-Powered Healthcare with AIVAS Personal Supercomputers
The increasing complexity of applications in fields like digital pathology, neurology, genetics research, radiation oncology, and cardiac imaging demand robust computational power and efficiency. AIVAS addresses market demand by offering the highest compute density and energy efficiency for low-latency, mission-critical workflows and secured workloads. AIVAS enables next-generation high-throughput sequencing algorithms, computational mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics automation by providing the ability to use advance bioinformatics techniques in clinical environments. This provides a unique opportunity for more accurate insights and faster results when most critically needed. AIVAS enables real-time data visualization and processing of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for use cases ranging from cortical reconstructions to image reconstruction of positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
Meet the World’s Most Powerful All-in-One
Enthusiasm for AIVAS is uniquely pronounced in the bioinformatics software engineering community. With maximum compute, unified memory, storage, high-bandwidth network throughput, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Data Center grade AI accelerators, new use cases and applications are being created at an accelerated pace.
Key Features of AIVAS
Real-World Impact
AIVAS has been met with enthusiasm and validation from early adopters, including researchers from the Stanford Medical School Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences and the Acacia Clinics.
Dr. Danielle D. DeSouza, Vice-President of Research at Acacia Clinics and Research Staff at Stanford University, Department of Neurology, shared her experience, saying, “Performing cortical reconstruction with AIVAS was significantly faster than traditional computers. We reduced individual subject reconstructions from over 24 hours to under 2 hours per subject and could parallelize to perform hundreds of subjects at a time. Clinical trial cohort pre-processing that used to take weeks to months was completed in under a week.”
Transforming Healthcare with AI
AIVAS enables surgeons and medical physicists to conduct real-time reconstructions using industry-standard DICOM images and videos, including CT and MRI scans. Leveraging the parallel processing power of both CPU and GPU with a unified memory architecture, AIVAS handles large datasets efficiently and significantly boosts medical reconstruction performance.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Alex Tuch scored a short-handed goal early in the third period to give Buffalo its first lead and the Sabres beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Saturday night.
Tuch intercepted a pass in his defensive zone and beat Mackenzie Blackwood on a breakaway for his third short-handed goal of the season. That gave Buffalo a come-from-behind win and spoiled the night for the sellout crowd that turned out to watch Joe Thornton get his No. 19 jersey retired.
Dylan Cozens scored earlier in the third to tie the game and Peyton Krebs also scored for Buffalo. Rasmus Dahlin iced it with an empty-netter.
James Reimer made 31 saves in his first game in San Jose since leaving the Sharks following the 2022-23 season.
Fabian Zetterlund and Luke Kunin scored for the Sharks, who have only one win in their last seven games.
Blackwood made 27 saves for San Jose.
Sabres: Buffalo rallied for the win a night after erasing a two-goal deficit to beat Anaheim in overtime.
Sharks: San Jose was let down by its power play, going 0 for 5 and allowing the short-handed goal. The Sharks had three power plays in the third, including 19 seconds of a two-man advantage.
The Thornton tributes carried over to the game. Zetterlund stroked an imaginary beard and pointed to the Thornton jersey in the rafters after he scored. Krebs pointed to the 19 on the back of his jersey after his goal.
After winning games in Los Angeles and Anaheim earlier in this road trip, the Sabres completed the rare California sweep. The only other time Buffalo won road games at San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles in the same season came in the 2011-12 season.
Sabres host Minnesota on Wednesday night, and Sharks host Los Angeles on Monday night.
