TITLE:	AI Hardware Accelerators Survey


ABSTRACT:


Certain aspects of Moore’s law arguably have ended, as have a number of 
related laws and trends including Denard’s scaling (power density), 
clock frequency, core counts, instructions per clock cycle, and 
instructions per Joule (Koomey’s law). Taking a page from the 
system-on-chip (SoC) trends first seen in automotive systems and 
smartphones, advancements and innovations are still progressing by 
developing and integrating accelerators for often-used operational 
kernels, methods, or functions.Over the past several years, startups and 
established technology companies have been announcing, releasing, and 
deploying a wide variety of artificial intelligence accelerators. The 
focus of these accelerators has been on accelerating deep neural network 
(DNN) models, and the application space spans from very low power 
embedded voice recognition to data center scale training. Understanding 
the relative benefits of these technologies is of particular importance 
to applying AI/ML to many industry challenges and National Security 
domains under significant constraints such as size, weight, and power, 
both in embedded applications and in data centers.

This seminar will share the results of an on-going, five-year study that 
has been surveying AI accelerators (and accelerators, in general), 
including their architectures, their capabilities, and their 
applicability to various embedded and data center applications. The 
survey has grown to include well over 100 ML accelerators, and they 
provide a basis with which we will discuss the trends of the 
accelerators and what to expect in the coming years.
