Accelerator Survey and Trends for AI and ML
Abstract
This article revises the analysis of AI processors and accelerators over the previous three years. This article compiles and analyses the publicly disclosed peak performance and power consumption figures for the most recent commercial accelerators. A scatter graph with the performance and power numbers is created, and several aspects and observations from the trends on this graph are once again reviewed and examined. This year's publication includes the extra trends of various neuromorphic, photonic, and memristor-based inference accelerators as well as two new trends charts based on accelerator release dates.
