Reading Between the MLPerf Lines
Every important benchmark needs to start somewhere.
The first round of MLperf results are in and while they might not deliver on what we would have expected in terms of processor diversity and a complete view into scalability and performance, they do shed light on some developments that go beyond sheer hardware when it comes to deep learning training. …

Intel’s Exascale Dataflow Engine Drops X86 And Von Neumann
With Moore’s Law running out of steam, the chip design wizards at Intel are going off the board to tackle the exascale challenge, and have dreamed up a new architecture that could in one fell swoop kill off the general purpose processor as a concept and the X86 instruction set as the foundation of modern computing. …
