Google Details Tensor Chip Powers
In January’s special Top Tech 2017 issue, I wrote about various efforts to produce custom hardware tailored for performing deep-learning calculations. Prime among those is Google’s Tensor Processing Unit, or TPU, which Google has deployed in its data centers since early in 2015. In that article, I speculated that the TPU was likely designed for performing what are called “inference” calculations.
The Microsecond Market
Since money first came into existence, some people have made gobs of it by having particularly timely access to important news. Perhaps the most notorious examples of this phenomenon took place during the first half of the last century in many U.S. cities. Here it was organized crime that profited immensely, and the news of interest was about horse races. Initially, horse-race results were sent ou
Ground-Effect Robot Could Be Key To Future High-Speed Trains
Japanese prototype of a train that levitates on cushions of air. High speed trains are huge in Asia, but barring a catastrophe, most of them are designed to stay firmly on the ground, running on rails. There are plenty of good reasons not to run on rails, though, one of which is that you can go much faster without all that friction. This is the idea behind maglev trains, but there’s still a lot of
