AI总结:

本文提出了一种高效的概率硬件架构,通过全晶体管设计在硬件层面实现强大的去噪模型,使设备在低能耗下达到与GPU相当的性能。

摘要:

概率AI的普及促使了专用随机计算机的提出。尽管有 promising 的效率提升,这些提案未能获得关注,因为它们依赖于根本有限的建模技术以及 exotic、无法扩展的硬件。在本工作中,我们通过提出一个全晶体管的概率计算机来解决这些不足,该计算机在硬件层面实现强大的去噪模型。系统级分析表明,基于我们架构的设备可以在简单的图像基准测试中,用大约10000倍少的能量实现与GPU相当的性能。

英文摘要:

The proliferation of probabilistic AI has prompted proposals for specialized stochastic computers. Despite promising efficiency gains, these proposals have failed to gain traction because they rely on fundamentally limited modeling techniques and exotic, unscalable hardware. In this work, we address these shortcomings by proposing an all-transistor probabilistic computer that implements powerful denoising models at the hardware level. A system-level analysis indicates that devices based on our architecture could achieve performance parity with GPUs on a simple image benchmark using approximately 10,000 times less energy.
