Supercomputing researchers document evolution of AI hardware
The Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center has surveyed the latest AI hardware since 2018 through the Lincoln AI Computing Survey (LAICS), now in its sixth paper. The survey summarizes current commercial AI accelerators and compares their peak performance and peak power. The excerpt notes that AI accelerators can also enable other parallel applications, such as modeling molecular functions and speeding up fluid dynamics simulations.
