Take a look at PoOps and you'll see what I mean. AI applications don't need the precision of the normal vector instructions, and Telum introduces a lower precision format. There's more than that, but again AI won't be the only exploiter.
The bad news is that Printing PoOps is even less practical than it used to be. ;-) ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of David Crayford <dcrayf...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2023 5:51 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: z/OS 3.1 Announcement US Letter On 1/3/23 06:37, Seymour J Metz wrote: > Telum isn't really an AI engine, but it has, e.g., vector capabilities > motivated by AI applications. I expect to see it used for more than AI. Naturally, it's not an AI engine on its own; software is required for that functionality. An ACM article [1] suggests that a 32-chip system can achieve 200 tflops, which is roughly double the output of a $1500 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card with air cooling. In this context, low latency is a critical factor.
