IBM Research has tested an energy-efficient analog-digital chip designed to run inference on deep neural networks. The news is in the company’s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The chip was developed at a nanotechnology campus in Albany, New York. It comprises 64 analog computing cores (tiles) in-memory<\/span>, each containing a crossbar array of 256-by-256 synaptic cells. According to the engineers, this is the first development of its kind to deliver results on par with digital counterparts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chip demonstrated an accuracy of 92.81% on the CIFAR-10 image dataset. We believe this is the highest accuracy among all chips currently presented that use similar technology,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

IBM noted that one of the chip’s advantages is maximum energy efficiency. The technology, in particular, substantially reduces the amount of data exchange between memory and the processor.<\/p>\n

In a BBC interview, IBM’s Thanos Vasiliopulos explained that the new development will be able to \u201cperform increasingly complex tasks under low power.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, cloud providers could use these chips to cut electricity costs and reduce carbon dioxide emissions,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

announced<\/a> the launch of watsonx, a business-focused AI and data-management platform. Developers expect it will significantly ease the integration of AI into commercial projects.<\/p>\n

Earlier in May 2023, the American tech giant announced a headcount reduction of about 7,800 employees. The company said the restructuring would affect roles that AI can handle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
