New AI Architectures Emerge to Challenge CPUs and GPUs

Demand for deep-learning accelerator (DLA) chips, also known as artificial intelligence (AI) processors, continues to be strong in spite of the pandemic. Deep-learning applications are being deployed throughout industry and can be found in everything from data centers to self-driving cars to edge devices, and embedded (IoT) systems. New entrants continue to emerge challenging large chip vendor incumbents in a market that has now topped $7 billion, growing 58% over 2019. A new report from The Linley Group, “A Guide to Processors for Deep Learning,” provides clear guidance on this dynamic market with concise analysis of deep-learning accelerators for artificial intelligence, neural networks, and vision processing for inference and training.

Automakers are beginning to introduce more safety features that can temporarily take over for drivers, and gradually more and more vehicles will be able to drive themselves. However, there’s little clarity for drivers what each feature actually does, when, and under what circumstances. When it isn’t clear who’s responsible for the vehicle – the driver or the car itself – that’s described as “mode confusion.” The concept is well known to aviators, but to hardly anyone else. This week we talk with former Navy pilot and professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, Missy Cummings, about the potential dangers to motorists if automakers fail to plan for mode confusion.

Ceres Holographics in Scotland is working with German polymer maker Covestro on the production of volume holograms.

Ceres Holographics in St Andrews is to use Covestro's Bayfol HX photopolymer films for transparent automotive display applications. Ceres uses these films to create specialty solutions with customized holographic optical elements (HOEs) designed to enable a new generation of transparent display applications for automobiles and commercial vehicles.

Bayfol HX film is a transparent thin film featuring a light-sensitive, self-developing photopolymer, that can be used for line-of-sight applications in automobiles and commercial vehicles. Ceres holographic transparent display technology has already been successfully demonstrated in OEM prototypes, enabling full-color display of information on front, side and rear car windows.

"Ceres Holographics has been testing how to harness the unique properties of our Bayfol HX film for holographic transparent display applications for years, and has produced outstanding results," said Yuen-Ling Lok, of Covestro.

"Our digitally-mastered HOEs feature full color and a wide vision field, yielding precision-engineered optical performance and functionality in windscreens and windows at prices that the market demands," said Andy Travers, CEO of Ceres Holographics, in a statement.

The latest report by XDA hints that two of the major video streaming platforms, YouTube and Netflix, may soon require supporting the AV1 codec for future content.

Well, gone are the days when we used to download and watch videos offline. As fast speed internet is readily available and has become a staple food in every walk of life, streaming has taken over.

However, streaming on mobile data is still limited. Because of limited data available on internet plans. This is the reason the AV1 codec has been a topic of interest in the recent past.

AV1 codec is a better codec to save bandwidth, along with improving the quality of the content. Now, as per a press release about its new VideoSmart VS640 edge computing SoC, Synaptics has given a peek into the future of YouTube and Netflix.
