Artificial Intelligence (AI) Deep Learning (DL) workloads require massive compute for training and Inference. However, End-To-End pipeline for AI workloads also require fast access to data, preprocessing, feature engineering, ETL, before AI Training. During Training, customers may also choose to quantization to lower precision. In addition, models may also require post-training quantization to accelerate inference. In this talk, we will present an overview of Intel’s OneAPI AI Analytics Toolkit. The toolkit provides Intel optimized libraries for AI Frameworks supported with Intel’s distribution of Python, Scikit-Learn, XGBoost, Modin, OneDAL, OneDNN, OneCCL, LPOT. The optimized libraries result in orders of magnitude performance improvement on Xeon® Ice Lake and next-gen Sapphire Rapids™ CPUs. We also plan to extend software acceleration with scalable abstraction for Intel’s general purpose GPU Xe architecture Ponte Vecchio.
Intel Corporation is an American multinational corporation and technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, in Silicon Valley. It is the world’s largest and highest-valued semiconductor chip manufacturer on the basis of revenue, and is the developer of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers.

AI with IoT (AIOT) application is widely appear in human’s life such as self-driving car, smart door bell. These application shows the AI is moving forward from cloud to edge device. However, the edge device for AI has the challenges of low to medium computing power, small form factor, long battery life time. These are all related to computing energy efficiency. The conventional computer architecture (Von-Neumann machine) is not efficient due to the memory bandwidth limit and data movement frequently. A new computing architecture computing-in-memory (CIM) is proposed to improve the computing efficiency. The CIM can directly compute (multiple and accumulate) in memory to avoid the data movement between the CPU and memory. However, CIM still have many challenges need to be overcome, such as linearity, precision and variation. In this talk, we proposed methodology to improve the precision and variations. It implemented to a 28nm 384kb 6T-SRAM Computation-in-Memory Macro with 8b Precision. This macro under 8bIN-8bWeights and 16 channel MAC operations can achieve 22.75TOPS/W for near full output-ratio (20b-OUT). This macro also achieved an FoM greater than 6× higher than previous SRAM-CIM work.
ITRI is a world-leading applied technology research institute with more than 6,000 outstanding employees.
