GPUs have been used in deep learning to date because they are the only commercially-available parallel processors that have come close to delivering the high compute density required, according to the company. Microsoft is experimenting with FPGAs, which remain expensive and difficult to program. Graphcore said these are stopgaps, not long-term solutions. It’s looking to help build highly parallel processors, complete…
