Dan McCreary on AI Hardware

Since 2019 we have seen an explosion in investment in innovative AI acceleration hardware. Here are a few articles I have written about this topic.

Intel’s Incredible PIUMA Graph Analytics Hardware

This November 2020 blog is one of the highest ranked articles on Intel PIUMA.

For the last few years, I have been promoting the idea of the Hardware Graph. My assertion was that graph hardware needs a focus on simple pointer hopping at scale.

From Flatland to HOG Heaven

This blog is a metaphorical journey that many of us are taking toward the concept of building large enterprise-scale knowledge graphs (EKGs). We will look at the three transitions that teams need to make to go from problem-solving using flat representations of data to billion-vertex EKGs running on hardware-optimized graph servers.
