This chip could be key to the future of AI.
- Jun8 7y agoChip was designed by Vivien Sze's Energy-Efficient Multimedia Systems Group at MIT (http://www.rle.mit.edu/eems/ http://www.rle.mit.edu/eems/). Key takeaway: "Sze’s chip is called Eyeriss. Developed in collaboration with Joel Emer, a research scientist at Nvidia and a professor at MIT, it was tested alongside a number of standard processors to see how it handles a range of different deep-learning algorithms. By balancing efficiency with flexibility, the new chip achieves performance 10 or even 1,000 times more efficient than existing hardware does, according to a paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.07928 https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.07928) posted online last year."
