German HPC outfit asks for damages, injunction that would see Azure AI shut down

Microsoft is facing legal action from German HPC vendor ParTec over claims of patent infringement relating to technology used in putting together AI supercomputers.The company and its licensing agent, BF exaQC AG, say they hold about 150 patents, with the most important relating to what ParTec calls its dynamic modular system architecture , which is at the heart of this patent case.

Next, the '883 patent is described as"a continuation of the application that resulted in the '156 patent," and was granted only recently – March 19, 2024. It goes on to claim that before the inventions described in its patents, general purpose processors were paired with permanently assigned accelerators, but this arrangement typically results in over or under-allocation of resources.
