Apple M2 Chip using AI or deep learning

April 28, 2021

Apple’s M2, the successor to the M1 and the SoC variant expected to ship in higher-end systems, is said to have now taped out on TSMC’s N5P process [5nm+]. N5P is said to be a small improvement over TSMC’s N5 node, offering an additional 10 percent improvement to power consumption and a 5 percent performance improvement over […]

Google Quantum Sycamore processor

April 27, 2021

Sycamore is a quantum processor created by Google Inc.’s Artificial Intelligence division. It comprises 53 q-bits, while actually having 54 q-bits. In 2019, Sycamore completed a task in 200 seconds that Google claimed, in a Nature paper, would take a state-of-the-art supercomputer 10,000 years to finish. Thus, Google claimed to have achieved quantum supremacy. To estimate the time that would be taken by a classical supercomputer, Google […]

Earthquake Prediction using AI or deep learning

April 26, 2021

Forecasting earthquakes is an important problem in Earth science, because of their devastating consequences. The success of earthquake prediction can potentially save many lives. Current scientific studies related to earthquake prediction focus on when and where it will occur and its magnitude. Different technologies have been used to address this, such as mathematical analysis, machine learning algorithms like […]

Quantum counting algorithm

April 23, 2021

A Quantum counting algorithm is for efficiently counting the number of solutions for a given search problem. The algorithm is based on the quantum phase estimation algorithm and on Grover’s search algorithm. Counting problems are common in diverse fields such as statistical estimation, statistical physics, networking, etc. As for quantum computing, the ability to perform quantum counting efficiently is needed in order to use […]

Quantum Computer Service feasibility over the Internet

April 22, 2021

The feasibility of a commercial quantum computer was discussed in a prior blog. It was also mentioned that an internet quantum computer service is feasible. While companies like D-Wave in Canada is a commercial quantum computer company, their customers typically ask for build-to-order machines. Several companies, such as Microsoft, Intel, and IBM have internet-based quantum […]

Quantum Internet

April 21, 2021

Purdue University engineers have addressed an issue barring the development of quantum networks that are big enough to reliably support more than a handful of users. The method, demonstrated in a paper published in Optica, could help lay the groundwork for when a large number of quantum computers, quantum sensors and other quantum technology are ready to go […]

Intel FPGA, Neural Processor (AI)

April 20, 2021

Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving rapidly, with new neural network models, techniques, and use cases emerging regularly. While there is no single architecture that works best for all machine and deep learning applications, FPGAs can offer distinct advantages over GPUs and other types of hardware in certain use cases. FPGA DEEP LEARNING BENEFITS: • FPGAs offer incredible flexibility and cost efficiency […]

Significance of early system analysis of AVB based Systems

April 20, 2021

Ethernet is widely used for all kinds of applications. However, for demanding multimedia streaming applications in a fully-loaded network, Ethernet is not the right choice due to its limited Quality-of-Service (QoS) support. IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standard, an extension to legacy Ethernet, provides the QoS features needed for multimedia streaming such as time synchronized […]

Apple Neural Processor

April 19, 2021

Back in 2017, Apple introduced the A11 which included their first dedicated neural network hardware that Apple calls a “Neural Engine.” At the time, Apple’s neural network hardware was able to perform up to 600 billion operations per second and used for Face ID, Animoji and other machine learning tasks. The neural engine allows Apple to implement neural network […]

How full-scale modeling and simulation achieved Quality-of-Service?

March 8, 2021

This blog focuses on how full-scale modeling and simulation is used to achieve the Quality-of-Service such as packet loss, throughput, bit rate etc. QoS (Quality of Service) refers to all such mechanisms or tools ensuring critical applications requiring real-time data (usually audio or video) get sufficient dedicated bandwidth, with priority over other applications. It is extremely […]

How can simulation aid in designing of Data-Centers?

March 4, 2021

The data volume and processing requirements surpasses the performance offered by today’s processors. Energy-efficient data center design and management has been a challenge of increasing importance in the past decade due to its potential to save billions of dollars in energy costs. The performance and power constraints are to be kept in mind while designing […]
