Session: Powering the Future of Sustainable AI through Specialized AI hardware Accelerators
AI and especially deep learning have achieved incredible performances in numerous fields including Computer Vision, Speech Recognition, Natural Language Processing etc. However, with this huge success, comes the increased size and complexity of AI models which both translate into high computational and increased carbon footprint. To address these challenges, there is Cambrian explosion of innovative AI hardware-accelerator architectures optimized for deep learning and machine learning across cloud and edge platforms. Purpose-built hardware will shift the traditional balances between cloud and edge, structured and unstructured data, and training and inference. This talk uncovers the evolving landscape of specialized AI hardware accelerators. It also highlights IBM Research suite of techniques towards the design & build of optimized deep learning hardware as part of IBM’s AI hardware Center initiative. We are making further strides in AI hardware-software co-design using approximate computing principals and Analog non-Von-Neumann approaches to unlock exponential gains of AI computations making AI faster, more efficient, and sustainable.
