Dubbed NorthPole, it excels in terms of performance, energy, and area efficiency.
Artificial intelligence is an energy vampire that runs on substantial computational power. Running AI applications like behavior monitoring, facial recognition software, or live object tracking in real-time, a computing system with faster and more accurate inferences is required. For this to happen, a large AI model must work closely with the source of data.
This problem of moving large amounts of data between compute and memory started with one of the earliest electronic computers, the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC). The compute and memory of the system were based on differing technologies and had to be operated separately by necessity.
