Graphcore’s Intelligence Processing Units, or IPUs, are specifically designed for artificial intelligence applications. These are not like legacy processor architectures (e.g. GPUs, CPUs, etc.) but rather graph processors designed for the massive parallelism and sparse data structures characteristic of machine intelligence knowledge models. Architecturally, IPUs are a unique new approach and offer significant performance, latency, and power efficiency advantages that distinguish them from legacy processors. Graphcore offers support for popular machine learning frameworks and a full tool suite for developers to innovate both within and outside those frameworks.
We believe our IPU technology will become the worldwide standard for artificial intelligence compute. The performance of Graphcore’s IPU is going to be transformative across all industries and sectors whether you are a medical researcher, a roboticist or building autonomous cars.
Graphcore’s Oslo office has grown from 10 to + 50 employees since August 2018 and our plan is to escalate the growth significantly during the next 2-3 years. The company is located seaside in downtown Oslo.
The Graphcore RackScale team located in Oslo is at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution, enabling innovators from all industries and sectors to expand human potential with technology. What we do really makes a difference.
