Intel oneDNN AI Optimizations Enabled As Default In TensorFlow

What’s New: In the latest release of TensorFlow 2.9, the performance improvements delivered by the Intel® oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library (oneDNN) are turned on by default. This applies to all Linux x86 packages and for CPUs with neural-network-focused hardware features (like AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BF16, and AMX vector and matrix extensions that maximize AI performance through efficient compute resource usage, improved cache utilization and efficient numeric formatting) found on 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and newer CPUs. These optimizations enabled by oneDNN accelerate key performance-intensive operations such as convolution, matrix multiplication and batch normalization, with up to 3 times performance improvements compared to versions without oneDNN acceleration. “Thanks…

Intel Powers First Satellite With AI On Board

  As ubiquitous as artificial intelligence has become in modern life — from boosting our understanding of the cosmos to surfacing entertaining videos on your phone — AI hasn’t yet found its way into orbit. That is until Sept. 2, when an experimental satellite about the size of a cereal box was ejected from a rocket’s dispenser along with 45 other similarly small satellites. The satellite, named PhiSat-1, is now soaring at over 17,000 mph (27,500 kmh) in sun-synchronous orbit about 329 miles (530 km) overhead.     PhiSat-1 contains a new hyperspectral-thermal camera and onboard AI processing thanks to…
