Towards Photonic TPUs for AI?
This interesting paper published last month entitled Integrated Photonic Tensor Processing Unit for Matrix Multiply sparked my interest in the area of silicon photonics. The article shares the applications of silicon photonics for improved AI performance. While the review points to a lot of research work ongoing, one of the sobering conclusions of the paper […]
Automated Driving Tests in Okinawa
Let’s start our tour of the regions down in Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture of Japan. Last year I organized a family trip down to the islands of Ishigaki and Haterumajima far from the main Okinawan island of Okinawa Honto.
