Intel and AMD have jointly announced ACE, a new x86 instruction set extension that brings dedicated AI acceleration to CPUs, ...

Right off the bat, let’s give a shout out to the mathematician propeller-heads who create the transformations that make it possible to do all kinds of high performance computing to simulate, model, ...

TPUs are Google’s specialized ASICs built exclusively for accelerating tensor-heavy matrix multiplication used in deep learning models. TPUs use vast parallelism and matrix multiply units (MXUs) to ...

A startup hopes to challenge Nvidia, AMD, and Intel with a chip that wrangles probabilities rather than 1s and 0s. The startup’s chips work in a fundamentally different way than chips from Nvidia, AMD ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of computing a matrix inverse using the Newton iteration algorithm. Compared to other algorithms, Newton ...

Matrix multiplication involves the multiplication of two matrices to produce a third matrix – the matrix product. This allows for the efficient processing of multiple data points or operations ...

An NPU is a dedicated hardware accelerator designed to perform AI operations much more efficiently and faster than CPUs and GPUs. NPU cores are specifically designed to perform matrix multiplication ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster than ever before by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, reports Quanta Magazine. This could eventually ...

Abstract: Sparse matrix–matrix multiplication (SpMM) is an important kernel in multiple areas, e.g., data analytics and machine learning. Due to the low on-chip memory requirement, the consistent data ...
