Technology Shifts – Architecture Exploration and Benchmarking

TOPS is a simplifying metric: It tells you how many computing operations an AI accelerator can handle in one
second at 100% utilization. In essence, it looks at how many math operation problems an accelerator can solve
in a very short period of time.
