Autonomous Vehicles: Memory Requirements & Deep Neural Net Limitations
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/autonomous-vehicles-memory-requirements-deep-neural-net-limitations/Written by Steven Woo Introduction According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), various driver assistance technologies are already helping to save lives and prevent injuries. Specific examples include helping drivers avoid making unsafe lane changes, warning of other vehicles when backing up, or automatically braking when a vehicle ahead stops or slows abruptly. […]
Will Neuromorphic Chips Outpace AI Processors?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/will-neuromorphic-chips-outpace-ai-processors/Add this one to your list of artificial intelligence (AI) terms — neuromorphic chips. They’re described as chips that model the human brain. That’s what Stanford University professor Kwabena Boahen and other researchers are working on, according to EE Times Rick Merritt’s recent report. The promise coming from these AI researchers is that neuromorphic chips […]
Most Complex Processor Chip for AI Acceleration
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/most-complex-processor-chip-for-ai-acceleration/EE Times reports that Graphcore of Bristol, UK has put on the market a new type of processor for AI acceleration. It’s called the intelligence processing unit (IPU). According to CEO Nigel Toon, the IPU processor, is the most complex processor chip that’s ever been built. It’s described as “just shy of 24 billion transistors on a […]
Training Neural Networks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/training-neural-networks/by Steven Woo Neural networks (NNs) span a wide range of topologies and sizes. Some neural networks are relatively simple and have only two or three layers of neurons, while so-called deep neural networks may comprise 100+ layers of neurons. In addition, the layers can be extremely wide – with hundreds to thousands of neurons […]
Understanding ML and ANN memory requirements
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/understanding-ml-and-ann-memory-requirements/Written by Steven Woo Artificial Neural Networks First proposed in 1944 by Warren McCullough and Walter Pitts, an artificial neural network (ANN) or more commonly, a neural network (NN), can perhaps best be defined as a computational model that attempts to closely emulate the network of neurons present in the human brain. More specifically, neuromorphic […]
Uber eyes an AI future
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/uber-eyes-an-ai-future/Rick Merritt of the EE Times recently reported that Uber is using banks of Nvidia GPUs for deep learning applications. The transportation network company (TNC) is also testing FPGAs from multiple startups such as Eyeris, Graphcore and Wave Computing. In addition, Uber maintains a dedicated AI research team that oversees more than a dozen deep-learning models […]
IDC White Paper Lays Out Future of Memories and Interfaces
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/idc-white-paper-lays-out-future-of-memories-and-interfaces/A recently published IDC white paper calls attention to the growing significance of chip connectivity. Entitled, “Hidden Signals: The Memories and Interfaces Enabling IoT, 5G, and AI,” the paper states that data created by electronic systems will grow 10x to 103 zettabytes between 2014 to 2023. Moreover, it says the average server will support over […]
