Why is the traditional processor old?

It is reported that the "Emerging Technology Trend Report 20 16-2045" recently released by the United States regards artificial intelligence as one of the most noteworthy technology development trends. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the problem of insufficient computing power of traditional computer chips has become increasingly prominent, and it is imperative to develop a new generation of computer chips that can better meet the computing needs of artificial intelligence.

According to the report, Moore's Law, as a basic principle, has been promoting the rapid development of computer chip industry for a long time. However, with the challenge of silicon-based limit in the field of precision manufacturing, it has become increasingly difficult to double the number of transistors on integrated circuits every 18-24 months.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the requirements for chips are getting higher and higher. The deep learning mode adopted by artificial intelligence is essentially a multi-level artificial neural network algorithm. This algorithm mainly summarizes the relevant laws spontaneously from the massive data input, which requires a lot of calculation and processing.

The "initial intention" of artificial intelligence chip design is to accelerate the deep learning algorithm, better simulate the neural characteristics of the human brain from the underlying architecture, and then realize smarter computing. This kind of artificial intelligence chip will better meet the needs of deep learning system for data calculation, and at the same time, it can adjust massive parameters, and will become a "catalyst" for the development and application of artificial intelligence.

I hope that artificial intelligence technology can make greater achievements!
