What is the Kirin 970’s NPU? – Gary explains

Read the post: http://andauth.co/QGRxJS | Huawei’s Kirin 970 has a new component called the Neural Processing Unit, the NPU. Sounds fancy, but what is it and how does it work?

  1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

  2. Should have a warning that Huawei ios currently facing charges including Racketeering and other nefarious SPY related crimes.
    WARNING * HUAWEI * ARE probably SPIES

  3. Huawei is the SPY-ARM of the Communist Chinese Government. They are currently facing charges related to things including RACKETEERING. Racketeering, you know – the verb you would probably closely relate to the MOB / GANGSTERS … yeah that kind of racketeering.
    Why is this a problem?! Well Huewei is a chinese company… which means they have to follow Chinese LAW. And Chinese LAW mandates that chinese companies COMPLY WITH ALL ORDERS OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT/MILITARY. ALL of their CITIZENS (including the TOP people that work in Huawei) must follow ORDERS. If the government say – hand over all X information… THE PEOPLE AT HUAWEI ARE REQUIRED TO DO SO! FOR FEAR OF PRISON!
    Not convinced? Huawei had ACTIVELY promoted SPYING by GIVING OUT MONEY TO EMPLOYEES THAT COULD GET COMPANY TRADE SECRETS from other companies. Still think they are above board? They would NEVER comply? WHAT?! THEY WERE ACTIVELY PROMOTING SPYING!

  4. I love your videos are very interestings.
    Do a video talking about the NPU of 5 teraflops on the A12 Bionic.This is impressive taking into account that the GTX180m has 6,1 teraflops (slightly better).

    Actually, that isn't what a floating point number is…
    Think scientific notation.
    So instead of saying 250 000 you might say 2.5*10^5 for instance (10^5 means ten multiplied with itself five times, so 10*10*10*10*10 resulting in a one followed by five zeroes)
    And that's great and all, but if you want to write 250 001 you suddenly have a problem as you can't write that precisely without adding way more numbers before the multiplication sign essentially making that notation useless in that scenario…
    Of course you could make it two different floating point numbers with one representing a few numbers in the beginning and one the ones at the end and if the number is big enough it might still save you some digits in between the two extremes…
    A integer is just the regular real numbers.

    Of course since this is computers this is all done in base 2 instead of base 10 like we use.
    Or in other words instead of 10 different symbols in each slot in a number before moving one to the left you only have two symbols before you need another digit to represent a number.

    As for why you'd do things that way?
    Because it makes the math so much easier.
    You're dealing with way smaller numbers.
    So when doing 3 billion + 2 billion instead of adding together every single digit you (so 0+0 9 times before even starting any numbers) essentially you'd just do 3+2 and then slap on "billion" at the end essentially saying that if there's individual digits at the end then we really don't care about it (so 3 000 000 001 + 2 000 000 004 would just be calculated as 5 billion with some rounding error with that kind of logic, except again, it's base 2 and with completely different numbers that can or can't be represented).
    It also takes up way less space.
    So yeah, it's more efficient, and there's a ton of other neat little tricks that you can do that makes calculations with floating points much easier then integers even though integers are technically more accurate.

  6. Gary Definitely love watching your videos and the way you explain. I agree too very fascinated to see what is next as well. Always enjoy Deb. 👌👍
