FPGA maker Xilinx has acquired Chinese deep learning chip startup DeePhi Tech for an undisclosed sum. …
Almost two years after the acquisition by Intel, the deep learning chip architecture from startup Nervana Systems will finally be moving from its codenamed “Lake Crest” status to an actual product. …
There are a lot of different ways to skin the deep learning cat. …
The last two years have delivered a new wave of deep learning architectures designed specifically for tackling both training and inference sides of neural networks. …
As a thought exercise, let’s consider neural networks as massive graphs and begin considering the CPU as a passive slave to some higher order processor—one that can sling itself across multiple points on an ever-expanding network of connections feeding into itself, training, inferencing, and splitting off into multiple models on the same architecture. …
Over the last two years, there has been a push for novel architectures to feed the needs of machine learning and more specifically, deep neural networks. …
Update – 8/9/16 1:00 p.m. Pacific – Not even 24 hours after this story was posted Intel bought Nervana Systems. …
As we pointed out a year ago when some key silicon experts were hired from Intel and Broadcom to come work for Meta Platforms, the company formerly known as Facebook was always the most obvious place to do custom silicon. …
Variety is not only the spice of life, it is also the way to drive innovation and to mitigate risk. …
Two decades ago, all the chip makers, including Intel, had to buy Unix machines, usually massive ranks of Sparc/Solaris systems, to do electronic design automation to design and test their chip designs. …
