Computer Architecture for Brain-Computer Interfaces
Earlier this year, Elon Musk’s Neuralink demonstrated an implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) capable of recording electrophysiological activity from several thousands of biological neurons with high fidelity and signal resolution. Such implantable BCIs offer...
Accelerator-Level Parallelism (ALP)
The demand for computing performance continues to grow exponentially in part due to video and machine learning processing for applications like augmented/virtual reality and self-driving vehicles. However, the underlying advances (Moore’s Law and Dennard...
The First Trillion-Transistor Chip: A New Design Space
There was stunning news at the HotChips-31 conference held at Stanford Memorial Auditorium last week. Cerebras, a startup company working on machine learning accelerators in stealth mode, finally came out and presented a groundbreaking accelerator chip packed with 1.2...
