While most of us tend to think of AI as a single entity, it is diversified into various branches. This AI Chip is capable of running them all.
One branch of AI involves performing traditional calculations whereas another deals with feeding those results into another layer that takes inputs.
- The main types of AI software are layered calculations and spiking communications.
- Each of these branches has different branches in itself. These are based on the structure of its layers. Communications networks, type of calculations etc.
- FCore Architecture developed by the Tianjin team has changed the game.
- The chip uses the native language of neural networks for calculations: binary.
- FCore chip has the ability to switch between the two modes of calculation ad hoc, making it first of its kind.
- A single unit can be set into a hybrid mode – input is taken and the results are formatted so it can be read by the other.
- “To demonstrate the utility of building a brain-like cross-paradigm system,” the researchers said, “We designed an unmanned bicycle experiment by deploying multiple specialized networks in parallel within one Tianjic chip.”, they added about the AI Chip.
