Hybrid Stochastic Computing
In a global first, China has recently begun large-scale deployment of non-binary AI chips developed using a novel Hybrid Stochastic Number (HSN) computing method.
What Problem Is China Trying to Solve?
- Too Much Power Use: Traditional binary chips (using 0s and 1s) need a lot of energy, which makes them hard to scale up.
- Hard to Upgrade Chips: New chip designs often don’t work well with the current tech used in factories (CMOS systems).
What’s special about Hybrid Stochastic Computing?
- Binary Logic: Very accurate but uses a lot of power.
- Stochastic Logic: Saves energy by using signal patterns instead of exact values, ....
