Hybrid Architecture Blends Best Of Both Worlds

By Steve Roddy - 11 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Quadric chose the brand name Chimera to describe the company’s novel general purpose neural processing unit (GPNPU) architecture. According to the online Oxford dictionary, in biology a chimera is “an organism containing a mixture of genetically different tissues (or DNA).” Quadric made that naming choice to reflect the fact that its Chimera GPNPU has characteristics of both conventiona... » read more
