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. …
Update – 8/9/16 1:00 p.m. Pacific – Not even 24 hours after this story was posted Intel bought Nervana Systems. …
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. …
As is well known, we like feed and speeds and slots and watts metrics here at The Next Platform for any kind of gear that runs in the datacenter. …
Et tu, Meta?
Of all of the world’s hyperscalers and large cloud builders, only Meta Platforms, dominated by its Facebook and related social network businesses like Instagram and WhatsApp, is a pure-play hyperscaler. …
With each passing generation of GPU accelerator engines from Nvidia, machine learning drives more and more of the architectural choices and changes and traditional HPC simulation and modeling drives less and less. …
