Oh great what does this futuristic chip do?
Instead, it was purpose built using a custom RISC architecture for DARPA's Hierarchical Identity Verify Exploit (HIVE) program. That US military initiative seeks to develop a graph analytics processor capable of churning through streaming data 100 times faster than conventional compute architectures, while also consuming less power.
Oh its for the military. Whats Graph Analytics?
Graph analytics deal with how data points connect with other data points in complex systems. The example Intel principal engineer Jason Howard pointed to in his Hot Chips presentation was social networks, which might run graph analytics workloads to understand connections among members.
So its a chip to analyse social networks at 1TB/s
- dan-robertson 3y agoSocial networks are an example that is east to describe to people. But that doesn’t mean they’re what the chip would be particularly used for. I don’t think you should read much into the examples that are used here. The previous thread had some examples. But the workload you should imagine is one where you are doing some kind of big parallel computation where each thread does a lot of unpredictable memory accesses. So various graph operations fit this, as do various database queries.

Darpa themselves say they want it for social media analysis, IP probe detection and infrastructure monitoring
