Here’s a thread on our new perspective article Solving the compute crisis with physics-based ASICs. To meet the demands of AI, a variety of new approaches to computing have been proposed that reimagine the basic building blocks of computers by considering the intersection of…
I'll be on a stream with @InferenceActive on august 6 to talk about AI and chips that exploit physics. Come check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=0h_mf5…
space to discuss the paper x.com/i/spaces/1OyJA…

Btw, I’m planning to host a space on this tonight

Looking forward to seeing the physics-based ASIC field grow further. Great overview from @NormalComputing and collaborators
We’re excited to announce our preprint "Solving the compute crisis with physics-based ASICs"! Our team at @NormalComputing, together with collaborators at @ARIA_research, @ucsantabarbara, @Penn, @sfiscience, @Cornell, @ARPAE, and @Yale , has posted a new preprint: "Solving the…
Really excited to announce our new preprint, "Solving the compute crisis with physics-based ASICs!" For years, I’ve argued we are returning to the era of specialized hardware. We moved from CPUs to GPUs, then to domain-specific accelerators. We are now facing a clear compute…

Check out this bold new work from @NormalComputing — forecasting a golden age of computing driven by physics-based hardware and architectures!
The era of Physics-based ASICs has arrived. On the surface, computing infrastructure seems unready to meet the demands of AI. But underneath, a Cambrian explosion of new computer architectures is rising to meet this challenge, with the goal of using physical processes as a…

There will be much fanfare at our next Proof Liturgy. As always, all math curious are welcome!
VerilogEval is an odd coding dataset - it gives the agent access to the golden testbench, which you will use to evaluate the final design from the model. I'm honestly surprised how papers like VerilogCoder or ChipAgents only get ~95% accuracy in this setting... That's what…
Interesting paper by Stephen Whitelam at LBNL that builds on our work on thermodynamic computing. In 2023, our team at Normal proposed to implement diffusion models on stochastic hardware, in our paper "Thermodynamic AI and the fluctuation frontier". Here, Stephen investigates…
