Thinking About AI Power in Parallel


Up to this point, a large portion of the worry has been about enormous upgrades in performance, here and there as high as 1,000X over past designs. Those numbers drop altogether as the chips become less specific, which consistently has been a factor in performance — even back to the times of mainframes and the Microsoft-Intel (WinTel) duopoly at the beginning of PCs and commodity servers. Performance is as yet the key measurement in this world, and there is so much disseminated energy as heat that fluid cooling is just about guaranteed.

In any case, power is as yet a worry, and it's turning into a greater concern now that these AI/ML chips have been appeared to work. While the initial usage of training was done on arrays of modest GPUs, those are being replaced by more modified equipment that can do the MAC calculations utilizing less power.

All of the big cloud providers are building up their own SoCs for training (just as some inferencing), and performance per watt is thought in those systems. With that much computer influence, saving power can indicate massive measures of money, both for powering and cooling the equipment and for protecting the life expectancy and functionality of these exascale computer farms.
