Neural networks are now being developed in a variety of technology segments in the embedded market, from mobile to surveillance to the automotive segment. The computational and power requirements to process this data is increasing, with new methods to approach deep learning challenges emerging every day. Vision processing systems must be designed holistically, for all platforms, with hardwa... » read more

AI Chip Architectures Race To The Edge

By Kevin Fogarty - 28 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

As machine-learning apps start showing up in endpoint devices and along the network edge of the IoT, the accelerators that make AI possible may look more like FPGA and SoC modules than current data-center-bound chips from Intel or Nvidia. Artificial intelligence and machine learning need powerful chips for computing answers (inference) from large data sets (training). Most AI chips—both tr... » read more

What’s Next With Computing?

By Mark LaPedus - 18 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 1

At the recent IEDM conference, Jeff Welser, vice president and lab director at IBM Research Almaden, sat down to discuss artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing and supercomputing with Semiconductor Engineering. Here are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Where is high-end computing going? Welser: We are seeing lots of different systems start to come up. First of all,... » read more
