Machine Learning Accelerators for AI and Big Data Analysis: GPU, TPU, and NPU
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea
COM2 Level 4
Executive Classroom, COM2-04-02
closeAbstract:
In this talk, Professor Won Woo Ro will present recent trends in hardware systems for AI applications and big data analysis. He will mainly discuss the processing logic part such as NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units (GPU), Google TPU, and various machine learning accelerators (Intel, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.). Then, he will also present some other system design issues and techniques to develop memory hierarchy and supporting software frameworks for the accelerators. The topics will cover both academia and industrial trends. Towards the end, he will also present his experience especially when developing a neural processing unit for deep learning applications.
