AI and quantum algorithms together can compute a better world
GUEST: We are in a race for quantum supremacy. Google, IBM, and researchers across the globe are working on solving the most complex of computations, computations that could only be solved by the most advanced quantum computers. Quantum computers are very similar to the computers in households today — only much more powerful. So powerful, […]
Intel and Waymo collaborate on self-driving compute platform
(Reuters) — Intel Corp on Monday announced a collaboration with Alphabet’s Waymo self-driving unit, saying it had worked with the company during the design of its compute platform to allow autonomous cars to process information in real time. The world’s largest computer chipmaker said its Intel-based technologies for sensor processing, general compute and connectivity were […]
Google brings 45 teraflops tensor flow processors to its compute cloud
Enlarge / The 180 TFLOPS Cloud TPU card. (credit: Google) Google has developed a 45-teraflops chip for machine learning and artificial intelligence, its second generation tensor processor unit (TPU), and the company is bringing it to the cloud. The custom chips are 15-30 times faster and 30-80 times more power efficient than CPUs and GPUs […]
