Intel introduced a neural network the size of a flash drive
Recently neural networks are used in virtually all spheres of human activity. This technology would seem to require a huge capacity and is not available to ordinary users, while remaining a portion of large corporations. However, a subsidiary of Intel called Movidius already launches the Neural device Compute Stick. It has a size comparable to a normal USB flash drive, while inside is hidden a powerful neural network with deep machine learning.
Neural Compute Stick can be programmed to any development of neural networks. In addition, it can be used as an accelerator, increasing the power of the Central processor of the computer or smartphone. According to Intel, Compute Stick Neural will make neural network technology and artificial intelligence more accessible to regular users. The main component of the device is a module of visual processing Myriad 2 VPU. According to the CEO of Movidius,
"The Myriad 2 VPU module inside the device Neural Compute Stick provides very high efficiency. Performance equivalent to 100 gigaflops at a power consumption of just 1 watt. This will allow you to work with neural networks in real-time, even mobile phones and tablets. This, in turn, will make artificial intelligence and neural networks independent of cloud services and the huge computing stations".
Company Movidius already offers to buy Neural Compute Stick for only 79 dollars.
