Conventional Von Neumann and Neuromorphic Architecture of AI Chips

In the background of the shortage of computing power in the training AI field, the current solutions and future outlooks will be shown if they tackle this dilemma. From the continuation of the traditional computer structure, Von Neumann structure, the three types of AI chips GPU, FPGA, and ASIC will be introduced and state their developments and drawbacks. Besides, a brand new solution gaining inspiration from our brain will also be discussed and introduce the fundamental electronic component to accomplish the goal. The principle of how a nerve fires will also be illustrated and based on this catch a glimpse of the neural network. Besides, The principle of memristors and with the support of crossbars, how could they be used in manufacturing AI Chips will be explained. Finally, the latest research in this field. The advantages and challenges will also be involved. Finally, a comparison of these solutions will be proposed.
