MLPerf Releases Official Results For First Machine Learning Inference Benchmark

None

Since launching their organization early last year, the MLPerf group has been slowly and steadily building up the scope and the scale of their machine learning benchmarks. Intending to do for ML performance what SPEC has done for CPU and general system performance, the group has brought on board essentially all of the big names in the industry, ranging from Intel and NVIDIA to Google and  Baidu. As a result, while the MLPerf benchmarks are still in their early days – technically, they’re not even complete yet – the group’


NVIDIA Gives Jetson AGX Xavier a Trim, Announces Nano-Sized Jetson Xavier NX

None

Since it was launched earlier this decade, NVIDIA’s Jetson lineup of embedded system kits remains one of the odder success stories for the company. While NVIDIA’s overall Tegra SoC plans have gone in a very different direction than first planned, they’ve seen a lot of success with their system-level Jetson kits, as customers snatch them up both as dev kits and for use in commercial systems. Now in their third generation of Jetson systems, this afternoon NVIDIA is outlining their plans to diversify the family a

Intel’s EMIB Now Between Two High TDP Die: The New Stratix 10 GX 10M FPGA

None

The best thing about manufacturing Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is that you can make the silicon very big. The nature of the repeatable unit design can absorb issues with a process technology, and as a result we often see FPGAs be the largest silicon dies that enter the market for a given manufacturing process. When you get to the limit of how big you can make a piece of silicon (known as the reticle limit), the only way to get bigger is to connect that silicon together. Today Intel is
