Graphcore Shows GAN Gains for CERN

While securing the high-end particle physics market segment is not likely to push any of the AI/ML ASICS into competition with GPUs anytime soon, the chipmakers that can prove their value on some of the most demanding, real-time AI workloads can capture some serious mindshare.
