This paper updates the survey of AI accelerators and processors from past two years. This paper collects and summarizes the current commercial accelerators that have been publicly announced with peak performance and power consumption numbers. The performance and power values are plotted on a scatter graph, and a number of dimensions and observations from the trends on this plot are again discussed and analyzed. This year, we also compile a list of benchmarking performance results and compute the computational efficiency with respect to peak performance.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.08957v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.08957v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"ai-accelerator-survey-and-trends","repo_url":"https://github.com/areuther/ai-accelerators","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"benchmarking","task_name":"Benchmarking"},{"task_slug":"computational-efficiency","task_name":"Computational Efficiency"},{"task_slug":"object-detection","task_name":"Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"speech-recognition","task_name":"Speech Recognition"},{"task_slug":"survey","task_name":"Survey"},{"task_slug":"video-object-detection","task_name":"Video Object Detection"},{"task_slug":"object-detection-1","task_name":"object-detection"},{"task_slug":"speech-recognition-1","task_name":"speech-recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
