Understanding Neural Processing Units (NPUs)
Neural processing units (NPUs) are specialized hardware designed to accelerate machine learning tasks, particularly in AI inference. Simplifying the difference between GPUs and NPUs, GPUs are more “general purpose” and used in various stages of AI development, while servers with NPUs are more suitable for “light machine learning” and small models, especially in inference. Additionally, GPUs incur high costs, including energy consumption, whereas NPUs offer a more economical and energy-efficient solution. The distinctive characteristics of NPUs compared to GPUs include:
- Specificity to inference phases, although they can also be used for training.
- Suitability for the development of SLM.
- Greater sustainability, with lower energy consumption.
- Cost-effectiveness.
How It Works
The AI Accelerator integrates seamlessly into existing systems, allowing users to enhance their AI capabilities with minimal disruption. By using state-of-the-art Tenstorrent cards, the product ensures high performance and reliability, supporting a wide range of AI applications from natural language processing to computer vision.
