I would love to hear any opinions on how one might invest in this, the no-brainer Nvidia has had a huge run already, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was double from here in a year's time.

#22For a millisecond I thought Intel were doing something new and interesting. Neuromorphic or neuromeristive architectures maybe. Nope it's just some rebranded x86 cores.
Nervana TPUs aren't rebranded x86 cores. They aren't neuromorphic either, and I don't know what neuromeristive is.

Neuromemristive,although I haven't heard the term before, means using memristors to compute artificial neural networks.

It really depends on how the market shapes up. You might see one software company rise to dominance where they interoperate with different platforms interchangeably, or you might see a single hardware vendor come to dominate a number of much smaller software vendors. NVidia is the horse to bet on now, but it remains to be seen how they can can expand beyond their current model of leaning heavily on their GPU technolo…
They don't necessarily have to scale down to get the benefits of AI in side smaller devices such as robotics. There's no reason why the robotics devices can't or won't be equipped with a variety of radios to facilitate communication. The AI agent can easily be somewhere centralized where power isn't a big deal. Then the robot stops being analogous to an animal with it's own brain and starts being something more like…

If Intel is smart they will invest heavily into library development. Researchers use whatever is fast and right now cuda is fast, not just because nvidia has the best GPUs (it's about even) but because the primitives in cuda are so much faster. Matrix multiplication on the same hardware is like 3x faster in cuda than opencl or competing libraries and using the neutral networking primitives is even faster. Intel needs…

Yes, they have invested heavily in this. Everytime they talk about their "car/auto segment" (which is all the time if you listen to their investor calls) it's mostly about scale-down.

Does NVidia have a solution here that scales down? Clearly they're focused on scaling up, as that's where the money is today. Yes, they have invested heavily in this.

Perhaps it uses a memrister?
