About Graphcore
Graphcore has created a completely new processor, the Intelligence Processing
Unit (IPU), specifically designed for artificial intelligence. The IPU's
unique architecture means developers can run current machine learning models
orders of magnitude faster. More importantly, it lets AI researchers undertake
entirely new types of work, not possible using current technologies, to drive
the next great breakthroughs in general machine intelligence.
We believe our IPU technology will become the worldwide standard for
artificial intelligence compute. The performance of Graphcore's IPU is going
to be transformative across all industries and sectors whether you are a
medical researcher, roboticist or building autonomous cars. Our team is at the
forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution, enabling innovators from
all industries and sectors to expand human potential with technology. What we
do really makes a difference.
