“Deep learning is at a crossroads,” says Chris Nichol, Wave Computing CTO. “Existing solutions continue to push conventional Von Neumann computing architectures to meet the increasing computing demands from deep learning workloads in the data centers. Even the general purpose GPUs as compute accelerators are struggling to meet the growing demands of deep learning. Wave’s dataflow architecture, which achieves an order of magnitude increase in performance over GPU based alternatives, promises to break through this performance wall to greatly expand the headroom for deep leaning computing.”

"Processors are becoming increasingly specialized to meet the needs of their target applications, including automotive, deep learning, networking, and IoT designs,” said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst and conference chairperson. “The Linley Processor Conference gathers leading processor vendors to deliver vetted presentations about their newest solutions.  The conference also features several presentations on memory and IP cores used to develop customized processors and subsystems. These talks, plus keynote speeches and Q&A panels, give attendees the critical information they need to select the best processor technology for their designs.”
