Thanks, how does this compare for matrix multiplication and logistical regression to other machine learning specific cores though, like a GPU or one of those Google Tensor Cores? These Alibaba chips don't seem like they'd do very well at those tasks, but are just great all purpose CPUs
almost amusing how mainstream media cant figure out a single technically interesting or useful thing to say about this event. thanks for finding something useful to relay about this effort.
