There is an alternate reality where Cray took their vector supercomputers, ditched FP64 calculations, and went with one FP32 pipe and a BF16 tensor core pipe. The same instruction set, memory architecture, and vector registers would have made a sweet deep learning machine, in many ways nicer than SIMT CUDA programming on GPUs. A Y-MP class machine like that could have delivered the AlexNet and DQN moments two decades earlier. Even doing everything in FP64 with no architectural changes, a Cray-1 would have been the best machine in the world for neural networks. If @geoffreyhinton had access to one for early research, the case could have been made for the architectural modifications to 10x the performance.

We’re thrilled to share that we have closed our $27million Series A and are ready to launch our AI acceleration platform in early 2023! axelera.ai/european-ai-start… #deeptech #ai #ml #edgeai
Hello (ex) @pulp_platform's Ariane/@openhwgroup's CVA6! Thanks to Massimiliano.G's LiteX port, it's possible to regain some freedom: - No longer restricted to Xilinx/Genesys2/MIG. - New peripherals to play with :) - 100% open-source SoC! - ... Try it: litex_sim --cpu-type=cva6

Can you design a chip in GF22 with 10 RISC-V cores in 5 weeks @fabianschuiki @be4web? Challenge accepted, hold our beers for a while. We present Thestral, PULP chip Nr. 38 taped out. But be careful - only people that have seen death can see a Thestral.🤣😼 asic.ethz.ch/2020/Thestral.h…

We would like to share with you our new paper. Nils has been collecting data by running programs on Ariane on FPGA for weeks to generate these graphs 😅. Read more on what he has been doing on Prevention of Microarchitectural Covert Channels at arxiv.org/abs/2005.02193

Fresh from Jeff Dean's ISSCC plenary talk... Guess which open source core is Google using to benchmarks their AI-driven IC placement engine?

Researchers have proposed Stream Semantic Registers: A lightweight, non-invasive RISC-V ISA extension which implicitly encodes memory accesses as register reads/writes, eliminating a large number of loads/stores. #RISCV arxiv.org/pdf/1911.08356.pdf
