IBM unveils the world's first quad-core AI accelerator chip
"Through its novel design, the AI hardware accelerator chip supports a variety of model types while achieving leading edge power efficiency on all of them." AI accelerators are specialized hardware designed to enhance AI applications’ performance, including deep learning, machine learning, and neural networks. They use in-memory computing or low-precision arithmetic, resulting in faster execution of large and complex AI algorithms. IBM claims its new AI accelerator chip is the first to include an ultra-low precision hybrid 8-bit floating-point (HFP8) format for training deep learning mode...
