SUMMARY:The Re-invention of Accelerated Computing for AI
DESCRIPTION:Invited Talk\n\nThe Re-invention of Accelerated Computing for 
 AI\n\nKnowles\n\nHigh-performance computing is changing rapidly in re
 sponse to multiple forces. The first is the break-out of intelligence (AI)
  as a workload of great commercial value which can productively harness en
 ormous computation. The second is the end of silicon scaling, or the begin
 ning of the era of power-limited computing. These two invoke a third; the 
 need for meta-programming environments which can capture learning processe
 s and express massive heterogeneous parallelism. The Intelligence Processo
 r (IPU) is an architectural outline which responds to these forces; a rein
 vention of accelerated computing from the ground up. This talk will descri
 be and justify the architecture of Graphcore's evolved "Colossus" IPU, and
  illustrate its value in real applications.\n\nTag: Applications, Big Data
 , Extreme Scale Computing, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Artificial 
 Intelligence\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits Reg
