Deep Learning Accelerators

Micron's Deep Learning Accelerator platform is a solution comprised of a modular FPGA-based architecture, powered by Micron memory, running FWDNXT’s high performance inference engine tuned for a variety of neural networks

 

Overview

Deep Learning uses neural networks to perform tasks such as machine vision, voice recognition and natural language processing. Trained models are often deployed across many devices such as cellphones to derive insight from new data – a process called inference.

Micron’s Deep Learning Accelerators enable inference tasks to be carried out much more rapidly, using much less energy, than general-purpose computers.

Developers can easily harness our technology explore and deploy Deep Learning models using a wide range of popular open source frameworks to solve previously-intractable data analytics problems from the edge to the cloud.

Making Strides in the Race to Better Treat Cancer

In the fight against cancer, time is of the essence. The process involves measuring tumors in many different ways, which can generate terabytes of data. One of the key challenges of precision oncology is the need to analyze that data in real time. Micron has teamed up with the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to speed up that process, giving patients, doctors and researchers the gift of time.
