Amdahl's law sets a practical limit to the benefit of parallelization, so that further acceleration is possible simply by redefining the General problem in such a way as to make previously serialized operations parallelizable. So if Moore's law slows down and we can't count on faster processors being released every year, what does that mean for data center technologists and architects? Obviously, one of the areas in which chip production will develop is multi-chip packaging, where many ...

Today, Qualcomm announced that they are entering the AI accelerator market with the Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 family of chips. Designed from the ground up for the artificial intelligence market, this chip should be released as early as 2020. At the same time, Qualcomm emphasizes that the new chip will be compatible with existing software for artificial intelligence applications. The new market, which did not exist at the beginning of this decade, has become the center around which all modern ...
