Research Bits: May 5


AI power prediction Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab developed a prediction tool that can quickly tell data center operators how much power will be consumed by running a particular AI workload on a certain processor or AI accelerator chip. It can be applied to a wide range of hardware configurations. The lightweight estimation model captures the power usage pattern of a GP... » read more
