There is an alternate reality where Cray took their vector supercomputers, ditched FP64 calculations, and went with one FP32 pipe and a BF16 tensor core pipe. The same instruction set, memory architecture, and vector registers would have made a sweet deep learning machine, in many ways nicer than SIMT CUDA programming on GPUs. A Y-MP class machine like that could have delivered the AlexNet and DQN moments two decades earlier.
Even doing everything in FP64 with no architectural changes, a Cray-1 would have been the best machine in the world for neural networks. If @geoffreyhinton had access to one for early research, the case could have been made for the architectural modifications to 10x the performance.

🌟We have had an amazing time at #RISCVSummitEurope so far! Watch #RISCV Ambassador @FlorianWoh's #recap video, highlighting a few of the incredible Summit announcements, sessions, and activities. We can't wait to see everyone for another packed day tomorrow! #RISCVeverywhere

In order to put to rest incorrect information that recently appeared on social media and several more prominent websites, we have published a summary of our project Occamy: pulp-platform.org/occamy/

Cool @AxeleraAI booth at #ew23 looks great.
#AI made in Europe
And they use #RISCV in some chips
Greetings to the #RISCVambassador @be4web

We’re thrilled to share that we have closed our $27million Series A and are ready to launch our AI acceleration platform in early 2023! axelera.ai/european-ai-start…

Wow, congratulations to the entire team, this is such an incredible achievement!
Here is Occamy: 216 Snitch cores, an HBM controller in GF12LPP, designed as a chiplet. Enough said 😇🦉. This work wouldn't be possible without the generous support of @GlobalFoundries and @rambusinc. asic.ethz.ch/2022/Occamy.htm…

Hello (ex) @pulp_platform's Ariane/@openhwgroup's CVA6!
Thanks to Massimiliano.G's LiteX port, it's possible to regain some freedom:
- No longer restricted to Xilinx/Genesys2/MIG.
- New peripherals to play with :)
- 100% open-source SoC!
- ...
Try it: litex_sim --cpu-type=cva6

This is great! That's what I am talking about when I push for open hardware!! Avalanche effect 🚀😎
Thanks @LucaBeniniZhFe ! We are also open-sourcing the code following the same principles as the @pulp_platform and the @openhwgroup here: github.com/artecs-group/PERC…

We are delighted to see our Ariane helping researchers at Google 😇. Learn more in the article "Google Deploys AI to Build Better AI Hardware Accelerators".

This is the single best pull request I’ve ever got! Thanks @OlofKindgren – at Vienna, Austria
Thank you very much - it was a blast!
Today Florian @be4web nailed it! Congratulations on earning a doctorate degree for his work on "Energy-Efficient High-Performance Computing." Here is him getting ready for the defense and some celebration pictures from the good old days. 😊🍾
Happy to share Snitch with the world! – at Vienna, Austria
We are delighted to announce that Florian @be4web and Fabian @fabianschuiki (AKA Flabians 😇) have just open-sourced Snitch. You can find its source code here github.com/pulp-platform/sni… and the documentation under pulp-platform.org/snitch
Wishing you all successful snitching 🤣.

Can you design a chip in GF22 with 10 RISC-V cores in 5 weeks @fabianschuiki @be4web? Challenge accepted, hold our beers for a while. We present Thestral, PULP chip Nr. 38 taped out. But be careful - only people that have seen death can see a Thestral.🤣😼

Thank you!! It was a blast and an honor presenting at #hotchips2020 We'll for sure post updates about Manticore's next steps😃@pulp_platform
Really cool talk from FlorianxFabian of ETH on their Manticore chip. Cool to see what a PhD in other fields can be like. Taping out a chip ain't bad and what a logo too ;) @be4web @fabianschuiki #HotChips2020
Really looking forward to our presentation about Manticore later today #HotChips2020!! Feel free to get in touch anytime via DM or Slack. – at Zurich, Switzerland
In HC32, researchers have presented Manticore, a 22FDX general-purpose ultra-efficient #RISCV chiplet-based architecture for data-parallel floating-point workloads.

#POWER10, what a beast! Designed with energy efficiency as one of the main design goals. An additional plus: the ISA is open source @OpenPOWERorg #HotChips2020 – at Zurich, Switzerland
Me, during #HotChips2020 quantum computing session. Still lot to learn. But love the figures 😍 – at Zurich, Switzerland
Excellent start of #HotChips2020 #hc32!! Perks of virtual: No heads in line of sight 😋 @pulp_platform @ETH_en – at Zurich, Switzerland
Looking forward to presenting together with @fabianschuiki on Tue and to a super interesting HotChips in general!
HotChips 2020 is almost here! Florian will be representing our team on August 18, 2020 with his 4096-core Manticore.
