Neural inference at the frontier of energy, space and time - NorthPole, IBM

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

NorthPole is the new shiny artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator developed by IBM.

NorthPole, an architecture and a programming model for neural inference, reimagines (Fig. 1) the interaction between compute and memory by embodying 10 interrelated, synergistic axioms that build on brain-inspired computing.

The creators claim that NorthPole design has been driven by 10 axioms inspired by human biology. We will use them as guidelines to analyze the paper, keeping the same outline as the original article.
