Supercomputing researchers document evolution of AI hardware

MIT NewsOctober 6, 20264 min read

An ongoing survey tracks the latest AI accelerator systems to keep hardware relevant for Lincoln Laboratory staff and sponsors.

As artificial intelligence transforms industries and national security, understanding the latest hardware capabilities is important for maintainind technological advantage. AI accelerators — specialized systems designed to speed up capabilities such as neural networks, deep learning, and machine learning — have been a major area of development for nearly a decade. Since 2018, team from the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) has been conducting the Lincoln AI Computing Survey (LAICS, pronounced "lace"). Six papers…
