For the first time, a large language model—a key driver of recent AI hype and hope—has been added to MLPerf, a set of neural network training benchmarks that have previously been called the Olympics of machine learning. Computers built around Nvidia’s H100 GPU and Intel’s Habana Gaudi2 chips were the…

Electric motors have helped bring legged robots into the mainstream, offering a straightforward and compact way of controlling robotic limbs with all the fancy control features that you need for safe and nimble motion. What you can’t get out of electric motors (more than once, anyway) is the kind of…

What AMD Learned From Its Big Chiplet Push

27 Ιουνίου 2023 by paulkokos

Over the last five years, processors have gone from being single pieces of silicon to a collection of smaller chiplets that collectively act as if they’re one big chip. This approach means that the CPU’s functional pieces can be built using the technology that suits each piece best. Sam Naffziger,…

Peculiar Pangolin Bot Is a Pill-Sized Prototype

A tiny robot version of the scaly mammal known as the pangolin may one day perform medical procedures inside the body, a new study finds. Scientists are increasingly exploring how miniature robots might find use in medicine—for instance, to carry drugs, genes or cells into the body. Soft robots especially…

New Moon Rover Gives It the Old College Try
