Microsoft wants to be part of Judgment Day, too: Introducing the Project Adam artificial intelligence
2014-07-15 13:50:48| Extremetech
Microsoft has unveiled Project Adam, its new artificial intelligence that it claims is 50 times faster than comparable state-of-the-art systems deployed by the likes of Google. Adam can look at an image of almost anything and tell you exactly what it is; it can even differentiate between a Pembroke and Cardigan corgi. Notably, while similar AIs are moving to massively parallel GPU computing, Adam uses plain old CPUs in Microsoft's Azure cloud -- an impressive feat that is only possible thanks to Microsoft's use of lock-free Hogwild! computing.
