Untether, based in Toronto, Canada, has developed a prototype inference chip which is akin to a chip that runs on a device like a smartphone or a camera. It can transfer data between different parts of the chip 1,000 times more quickly than a conventional AI chip. It uses “near-memory computing” to reduce the physical distance between memory and the processing tasks, which speeds up data transfer and lowers power consumption…read more.
