FPGA Maker Snaps Up Deep Learning Chip Startup
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. …
There was a time – and it doesn’t seem like that long ago – that the datacenter chip market was a big-money but relatively simple landscape, with CPUs from Intel and AMD and Arm looking to muscle its way in and GPUs mostly from Nvidia with some from AMD and Intel looking to muscle its way in. …
If you control your code base and you have only a handful of applications that run at massive scale – what some have called hyperscale – then you, too, can win the Chip Jackpot like Meta Platforms and a few dozen companies and governments in the world have. …
If Nvidia and AMD are licking their lips thinking about all of the GPUs they can sell to the hyperscalers and cloud builders to support their huge aspirations in generative AI – particularly when it comes to the OpenAI GPT large language model that is the centerpiece of all of the company’s future software and services – they had better think again. …
