Google Makes Its Special A.I. Chips Available to Others
A new wave of artificial intelligence, including services like Google Assistant, are driven by “neural networks,” which are complex algorithms
that can learn tasks on their own by analyzing vast amounts of data.
“This is about packing as much computing power as possible within a small area, within a heat budget, within a power budget,” Mr. Bisson said.
As a way of cutting costs and improving the efficiency of the multibillion-dollar data centers
that underpin its online empire, Google designs much of the hardware inside these massive facilities, from the computer servers to the networking gear that ties these machines together.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — A few years ago, Google created a new kind of computer chip to help power its giant artificial intelligence systems.
