Tensordyne Claims 8x AI Efficiency Boost Over NVIDIA Using Logarithmic Math
The idea isn't novel, but presents major challenges. Tensordyne thinks it has solved them, and promises massive speed and efficiency gains as a result.
By using Logarithmic Number Systems (LNS), you can slash both the energy cost and silicon area cost of AI inference computations. How much? Tensordyne says that its upcom
Because AI compute is primarily composed of matrix multiplication, this radically simplifies the workload, and allows the functional units of Tensordyne's chip to be significantly smaller. In turn, more of the die can be SRAM cache (6x as much versus the competition), which improves both…
