Lincoln AI Computing Survey (LAICS) Update
This is an incremental update providing a resource for researchers and industry professionals tracking AI hardware trends.
The paper updates the Lincoln AI Computing Survey (LAICS) by collecting and summarizing current commercial AI accelerators with peak performance and power consumption data, analyzing trends and market segments through scatter plots.
This paper is an update of the survey of AI accelerators and processors from past four years, which is now called the Lincoln AI Computing Survey - LAICS (pronounced "lace"). As in past years, this paper collects and summarizes the current commercial accelerators that have been publicly announced with peak performance and peak power consumption numbers. The performance and power values are plotted on a scatter graph, and a number of dimensions and observations from the trends on this plot are again discussed and analyzed. Market segments are highlighted on the scatter plot, and zoomed plots of each segment are also included. Finally, a brief description of each of the new accelerators that have been added in the survey this year is included.
