The Path to a 1-Trillion-Transistor GPU: AI's Boom Demands New Chip Technology
Mark Liu, S.S. Wong
Abstract
In 1997 the IBM Deep Blue supercomputer defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov. It was a ground-breaking demonstration of supercomputer technology and a first glimpse into how high-performance computing might one day overtake human-level intelligence. In the 10 years that followed, we began to use artificial intelligence for many practical tasks, such as facial recognition, language translation, and recommending movies and merchandise.
