Deep Learning on CPU instead of GPU, Platforms will Rule

[Arthur Hanson]

Out of MIT has come a process for applying deep learning to a standard CPU instead of a more complex GPU. This could be a serious step towards spreading the use of deep learning over a much broader base at lower cost, bringing fundamental changes to almost everything we touch. This is an ideal example of the compounding of knowledge across our society putting out as ever increasing amount of innovation every year. Progress in everything is picking up speed to a point our standard educational training model will soon be obsolete in many areas and learning platforms will be key to keeping up in an ever growing number of fields.

The startup making deep learning possible without specialized hardware

GPUs have long been the chip of choice for performing AI tasks. Neural Magic wants to change that.
