Over the last two years, there has been a push for novel architectures to feed the needs of machine learning and more specifically, deep neural networks. We have covered the many architectural options for both the training and inference sides of that workload here at The Next Platform, and in doing so, started to notice
Over the last couple of years, the idea that the most efficient and high performance way to accelerate deep learning training and inference is with a custom ASIC—something designed to fit the specific needs of modern frameworks. While this idea has racked up major mileage, especially recently with the acquisition of Nervana Systems by Intel
Intel has planted some solid stakes in the ground for the future of deep learning over the last month with its acquisition of deep learning chip startup, Nervana Systems, and most recently, mobile and embedded machine learning company, Movidius. These new pieces will snap into Intel’s still-forming puzzle for capturing the supposed billion-plus dollar market
