AI Hardware Summit

Memo

The AI Hardware Summit is the first and only conference dedicated solely to the ecosystem developing hardware accelerators for neural networks and computer vision. Join 250+ senior technology leaders from AI chip start-ups, semiconductor companies, system vendors/OEMs, data centers, end users, financial services, investors and fund managers, to build a comprehensive architectural roadmap of the emerging AI chip market. Take advantage of unique networking opportunities to meet key industry leaders 1-2-1, whilst also exploring: - Innovations and Optimizations of High-Performance Chip Architectures: GPUs, ASICs and TPUs, FPGAs...- Alternative Approaches: hybrid digital/analog computing, neuromorphics and neuromemristive systems, quantum computing.- The Role of Software: assistance software, software frameworks, ecosystems, and applications. Generating user-friendly native code and linking open source machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow and Caffe.- Industry Developments: Start-up and Corporate RandD, Venture Capital and Corporate Venture Capital investment trends, strategic acquisitions and partnerships. Forecasts predict that the AI (chipsets) market is expected to grow from USD 7.06 Billion in 2018 to USD 59.26 Billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 35.5% from 2018 to 2025 (Business Wire, 2018), the chip market is no longer standing still. As we approach a paradigm shift in computing, there is little doubt that a combination of the processing units currently in development will accelerate AI research and development, far beyond the capabilities of current platforms. There is need for sharing knowledge on the best way to turn this shift into an opportunity and roadmap the future ahead.
