Neural Magic raises $15 million to boost AI training speed on off-the-shelf processors
November 6, 2019
Despite the proliferation of accelerator chips like Google’s tensor processing unit (TPU) and Intel’s forthcoming Nervana NNP-T, most machine learning practitioners are limited by budget or design to commodity processors. Unfortunately, these processors tend to train sophisticated AI models rather slowly, exacerbating one of the many challenges involved in AI R&D.
Hence, Neural Magic. MIT…
