Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller believes that AI processors will proceed to get larger in order that extra folks can take part and construct high-performance AI fashions. Yashasvini Razdan from Electronics For You spoke to Keller to achieve his views on the way forward for AI processors and RISC-V know-how.

Q. How would you clarify your new know-how?
A. We’re making a novel synthetic intelligence (AI) pc. AI computer systems do large quantities of dense mathematical computation and carry out numerous operations.
Computation is just like how the mind works. Your mind is made out of round 10,000 teams of cells that speak to one another, regionally, after which they speak to one another broadly. You possibly can consider AI issues as very intense arithmetic. Computations are executed within the mind when many cells trade info with one another, they usually simply preserve doing it to make the mind work.
We’re constructing a pc that may do numerous arithmetic, but in addition talk the outcomes of every step of the calculations. That type of illustration is trainable and results in fascinating outcomes with AI software program.
To sum it up, we’re constructing {hardware} that has numerous impartial processors and we’re constructing software program that may take the corporate’s AI program and unfold it throughout these processors, and people processors can speak to one another, natively. This provides us a bonus on learn how to write the code and in addition benefits on the price of the pc and the price of the system.
