AI Accelerators
AI accelerators are a relatively new but rapidly developing technology. There are few different categories: new or bespoke products, GPU-based products, AI co-processors, and R/D products. In the new-products category, TPU has perhaps the most buzz because it allows TensorFlow developers an easy pathway to developing software.
GPU-based products are currently the most common form of AI acceleration. Professor Ian Lane, Carnegie Mellon University, says this about them: “With GPUs, pre-recorded speech or multimedia content can be transcribed much more quickly. Compared to CPU implementation we are able to perform recognition up to 33× faster.”
In the category of FPGA, one company to look out for is reconfigure.io (https://reconfigure.io/ ...
