Introduction to LPU

A NEW DAWN IN THE LLMs LANDSCAPE

In the world of generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs) has been a guiding light with unprecedented growth over the past year with room for limitless potential but its reliance on traditional hardware like GPUs & CPUs brings about a couple of limitations such as:

• Compute Density

• Memory Bandwidth

WHAT ARE LPUs?

Language Processing Units are the next-level unit systems designed specifically to carter for mechanics of LLM processing and is set to push the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs even further while solving for the limitations encountered by traditional GPUs & CPUs.

WHY LPU OVER GPU & CPU in the LLMs LANDSCAPE?

Better Compute Capacity: This translates to generation of text sequences at a much faster rate because with LPUs there is a reduction in time per word calculated.

Architectural Superiority: The way LPUs are designed makes them more suited to handling intensive LLM processing due to its sequential nature.

Higher Memory Bandwidth: This ultimately impacts the overall data flow efficiency and reduction of latency.
