This week we will be delving into systems and architectures designed for machine learning, but since it’s Monday and there is quite a bit to come, it seemed worthwhile to take a step back and consider how architects and software developers are thinking about the current landscape. …
Although GPUs have found a wider market in high performance computing in recent years, an emerging market is exploding in deep learning and computer vision with companies like Baidu and others continuing to push the processing speed and complexity envelope. …
If you think that Hewlett-Packard is disappointed about the delays in getting the memristor to market, so is a tenacious inventor who has been working at the confluence of electronics and machine learning. …
A lead deep learning expert at Microsoft Research thinks the low-hanging fruit for progress in deep neural networks has been picked and that for the next couple of years, refinement of neural networks and deep learning algorithms will be isolated and incremental. …
There is a clever combination of language and platform development rolling out of Facebook engineering in the form of HHVM and the Hack programming language—and what is working for production users of this code base inside Facebook, is also powering production jobs at Baidu, Box, and Wikipedia. …
