MN-Core 2: Second-Generation Processor of MN-Core Architecture for AI and General-Purpose HPC Application

•MN-Core is a series of AI-oriented accelerator developed by PFN •The first-generation MN-Core has achieved very high performance-per-watt, ranked #1 in Green500 list 3 times. •We completed MN-Core 2. Achieved higher performance per watt and also higher performance per silicon area. •Performance on real applications, both AI and general HPC areas, is higher than that of other accelerator made with same process tech. •We have already started the development of next-generation processors, both for learning and LLM inference.

Abstract

•MN-Core is a series of AI-oriented accelerator developed by PFN •The first-generation MN-Core has achieved very high performance-per-watt, ranked #1 in Green500 list 3 times. •We completed MN-Core 2. Achieved higher performance per watt and also higher performance per silicon area. •Performance on real applications, both AI and general HPC areas, is higher than that of other accelerator made with same process tech. •We have already started the development of next-generation processors, both for learning and LLM inference.
