Neural networks have recently hit their stride thanks to Hinton's layer - by - layer training regimen, the use of high - speed computer chips
called graphical processing units, and an explosive rise in the number of images and recorded speech available to be used for training.
Researchers have been taking advantage
of graphical processing units (GPUs), which are small chips designed for high performance in processing the huge amount of visual content needed for video games.
The entire AI project took 22 days and required the power of 330
graphical processing units, or GPUs, which are good at these kinds of deep learning tasks.
But Bitcoin Gold will use an algorithm known as «Equihash» which is designed so that people can effectively use
their graphical processing units, or GPUs — common computer gaming hardware — to profitably mine the coin for the foreseeable future.
A team at the University of California, Berkeley, led by renowned exoplanet - hunter Geoff Marcy, will develop a signal processing system based on field - programmable gate arrays — a type of reconfigurable computer chip — and
graphical processing units (GPUs) to crunch the 10 gigabytes of data per second produced by the survey.
In recent years,
graphical processing units (GPUs) have grown in popularity since they can now be programmed with higher - level languages like the industry standard OpenCL.
Also on hand is an Adreno 305
graphical processing unit, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of built - in flash memory, and a microSD slot that'll take up to a 32 GB storage boost.
The graphical processing unit of the device is being powered by Mali - 400.
Although they have collaborating on everything from driver performance to controller lag reduction, Valve's key interest has been NVIDIA»S GeForce GTX series of GPUs (
graphical processing units.)
The power
the graphical processing units consume while mining digital coins is sufficient, according to the company, to warm a room of about 200 square feet.
