We have a few products for the medical and security industries that use Cafe and Tensor pre-trained CNNs. (Convolutional Neural Networks)
The SOPHON Cards outperform NVIDIA GPUs by an exponential factor on certain workloads.
Think OpenCV using GoogleNet, AlexNet, GenderNet, AgeNet, in an automated threat detection application. Or using pixel differentiation to locate tumors and cancerous growths in X-Rays, MRIs, and CTs. They also have a few unique blocks the other types of hardware acceleration.
Sophon cards really reduce the amount of guided training necessary and subsequently lowers the time to completion for our pipeline.
Regarding mining, we were able to produce a solver based on Tensority, but never fully developed that into a miner.
Really never seemed like there was a compelling reason to do so.
Thx a lot for the detailed describtion, much appreciated.
What is the price of such card? I reviewed it several times on Bitmains subpage but never found a hit of pricing....
Just so i have an idea how much such card costs, not that it must be an exact price, a range is totally ok if you don't mind.
That's a complicated question. PM Me?
