Supercomputing researchers document evolution of AI hardware

Since 2018, Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center researchers have conducted the Lincoln AI Computing Survey (LAICS) to track and compare commercial AI accelerators' performance and power. These accelerators, including CPUs, GPUs, ASICs, FPGAs, and dataflow accelerators, support AI and other computationally intensive tasks. The survey helps identify the best hardware for specific workloads, informing government and industry stakeholders.
