In terms of compute power, Compal is showcasing its latest AI server — SGX30-2 / 10U — based on the NVIDIA HGX B300 platform. The system is built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, supports eight NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs connected with fifth-generation NVIDIA NVLink, and features dual Intel® Xeon® 6 processors, purpose-built for large-scale AI model training, inference, and HPC (high-performance computing) workloads.

NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs are based on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, provides up to 2.1 TB of HBM3e memory and 1.8 TB/s GPU-to-GPU NVLink bandwidth, for a total interconnect bandwidth of 14.4 TB/s, ensuring low-laten, high-speed access to massive working sets. It delivers 144 PFLOPS of FP4 inference performance and approximately 72 PFLOPS of FP8 performance, representing a 7x increase in compute performance compared to the previous NVIDIA Hopper generation. This design enables enterprises to perform high-throughput training and efficient inference on a single platform, significantly shortening AI model development and deployment cycles.

The showcase also featured CXL (Compute Express Link) and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) technologies for AI (Artificial Intelligence) Memory Expansion, addressing the growing memory bottlenecks in workloads such as large language model training and HPC. Through the CXL.mem protocol, servers can seamlessly access pooled SCM (Storage-Class Memory)-based Memory Expanders within a rack, enabling CPUs and GPUs to process larger datasets beyond HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) limits with cache-coherent efficiency.

Within the evolving memory architecture, bridging GPU memory and storage a direct path through PCIe interface. It’s intelligent DMA (Direct Memory Access) offload and low-latency data-path design transform conventional NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) storage into a memory-like extension, realizing the Storage-as-Memory concept that enables high-speed data access without increasing CPU overhead.

Extending beyond the rack, RDMA allows direct data movement across servers and data centers via InfiniBand or RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) networks, supporting large-scale memory disaggregation and resource pooling. Together, these technologies redefine how data flows across AI clusters, creating a unified, reconfigurable, and energy-efficient infrastructure that evolves from today’s PCIe-based systems toward next-generation GPU direct storage and CXL-enabled architectures.

With this comprehensive showcase, Compal demonstrates a clear, practical path from today’s infrastructure to the data center of the future, and underscores its role as a true system integrator — not just a technology provider, but a long-term strategic partner for enterprises in their digital transformation journey,” said Alan Chang, Vice President of the Infrastructure Solutions Business Group at Compal.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The California Institute of Artificial Intelligence (CIAI) announced the launch of The Dawn Directive, a pioneering educational initiative fully created by an Agentic AI system developed by MindHYVE.ai™.

This groundbreaking curriculum marks a new epoch in the evolution of learning—where artificial intelligence doesn’t just inform education but designs it.

Delivered through the ArthurAI™ Virtual Learning Platform (VLP), The Dawn Directive is the world’s first AI-generated program for comprehensive AI literacy, fluency, and ethics—engineered to prepare students, professionals, and educators to thrive in an intelligent, automated world.

A Vision for an AI-Literate World

CIAI’s mission is rooted in a singular goal: to make AI literacy as universal and essential as computer literacy became in the 1990s. By closing the global AI fluency gap, the Institute aims to ensure that no individual, organization, or nation is left behind as AI becomes the defining force of modern progress.

“The Dawn Directive is more than a curriculum—it’s a declaration of intent,” said a CIAI spokesperson.
“It represents a future where humans and AI co-create knowledge, ensuring education evolves at the same speed as innovation itself.”

About The Dawn Directive

The Dawn Directive is an 18-course learning system organized across six major domains:

  • AI Literacy – foundational understanding of AI, history, and concepts.
  • AI Fluency – hands-on application in prompting, orchestration, and model interaction.
  • AI Applications – real-world creation using no-code and agentic systems.
  • AI + Ethics – critical awareness of fairness, bias, governance, and accountability.
  • AI for Educators – integrating AI tools responsibly into pedagogy.
  • AI Future-Skills – resilience, creativity, and meta-learning for the AGI era.

Delivered via the ArthurAI™ Virtual Learning Platform, the Directive leverages adaptive learning, cognitive profiling, and neuro-symbolic reasoning to deliver personalized, explainable education at scale. Each learner receives dynamic AI-driven tutoring, adaptive course content, and ethical feedback systems—creating a fully autonomous, yet deeply human-centered learning experience.

Impact: Redefining Workforce and Educational Readiness

The Dawn Directive enables governments, institutions, and enterprises to rapidly upskill workforces for the AI economy by providing:

  • Scalable AI literacy certification across professions and geographies.
  • Workflow-embedded learning that mirrors real-world AI collaboration.
  • Ethical readiness to align with upcoming AI governance and compliance frameworks.
  • Continuous learning ecosystems that evolve in real time as AI technologies advance.

CIAI’s learning pathways—AI-Ready Professional, AI Collaborator, and AI Leader—set a global benchmark for competence in responsible AI use, communication, and leadership.

The Significance of an AI-Created Curriculum

“For the first time, AI is both the subject and the author of education,” said Bill Faruki, CEO & Founder of MindHYVE. “The Dawn Directive demonstrates what happens when intelligent systems collaborate with human purpose—creating a learning standard that evolves as fast as the world does.”

This initiative redefines the relationship between human educators and machine intelligence—establishing a living curriculum that learns, adapts, and scales globally.
