I'm reading about Graphcore and their IPU graph processors... I wonder if it would be a good idea to make Atomspace and the Pattern Matcher run on their IPUs using their Poplar libraries? A short rundown on the IPU and Poplar are attached to this email...
Obviously there are a lot of other priorities. What I'm asking now is, for those who know more than me about hardware, do you think that we would get dramatic speedups by porting Atomspace/PM to this hardware [understanding it would be a lot of work to do so...] To tell for sure would require more digging obviously, but I'm trying to form a clear opinion of whether that digging is even worthwhile... thanks Ben NeurIPS 2018 Poplar Graph Toolchain.pdf <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p_4OXDquYSl6SuDCajk10W3N5nf7bInp/view?usp=drive_web> -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org "Listen: This world is the lunatic's sphere, / Don't always agree it's real. / Even with my feet upon it / And the postman knowing my door / My address is somewhere else." -- Hafiz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
