MIT’s Survey On Accelerators and Processors for Inference, With Peak Performance And Power Comparisons

MIT Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center published a technical paper titled "Lincoln AI Computing Survey (LAICS) and Trends," focusing on AI accelerators and processors for inference. The paper updates a survey of AI accelerators and processors over the past seven years, highlighting commercial accelerators with peak performance and power consumption data. The paper analyzes trends, market segments, and new computing architectures, presenting the information in scatter graphs. It also includes descriptions of new accelerators added to the survey and offers insights into the evolving landscape of AI computing technologies.
