AI processing is appearing everywhere, running on just about any kind of infrastructure, from the cloud to the edge to end-user devices. Although we might think AI processing requires massive centralized resources, this is not necessarily the case. Deep learning training might need centralized resources, but the topic goes way beyond this, and it is likely that most production applications will use CPUs to process data in-place. Simpler machine learning applications don’t need specialized accelerators and Intel has been building specialized hardware support into their processors for a decade. DL Boost on Xeon is competitive with discrete GPUs thanks to specialized instructions and optimized software libraries.
