• Accelerating Memory Bound AI Inference Workloads with Intel® Stratix® 10 MX Devices Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly constrained by memory solutions that overly constrict available memory bandwidth. For example, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) used in AI applications such as finance, genome mapping, and speech AI – including Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Processing/Understanding (NLP/NLU) – have two common traits: They are memory intensive They require very low latency Consequently, RNN...

• The iAbra PathWorks toolkit brings embedded AI inference, real-time video recognition to the edge with Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs, Intel® Xeon® Gold CPUs, and Intel® Atom® processors It’s not always easy to get data to the cloud. Multi-stream computer vision applications, for example, are extremely data intensive and can overwhelm even 5G networks. A company named iAbra has created tools that build neural networks that run on FPGAs in real time, so that inference can be carried out at the edge in small, light, low-power embedded devices...
