Disappointing article. The history and future of neural network chips is much much larger than GPUs and TPUs. There was a post a few months ago from IEEE about neural chip architectures, which was pretty good for the scope, but there is actually a lot more once you add in the materials research.
- joe_the_user 8y agoIt may be a long time before special purpose parallel processing unit become more useful than general purpose parallel processing units. The advantage of general purpose parallel chips is both economies of scale (GPUs serve purposes from games to cryptomining to AI) and the tendency of AI to switch from algorithm to algorithm. There's been a long history of "AI Chips" that prematurely choose the particular AI algorithm that would be optimized.
