Can AI Save Science?
AI processors using dataflow look very promising.The Genesis Mission is DOE’s big new story: a national push to use AI and world-class supercomputers to crack science’s toughest mysteries and supercharge US research. It consists of 26 national importance challenges and a cast of tech giants—AMD, Nvidia, Microsoft, and others—plus scrappy innovators betting on fresh ideas. Jack Dennis and his team at MIT are credited with pioneering this field as a radical alternative to the traditional von Neumann control-flow architecture.An older start-up (founded in 2017), Israeli-based NextSilicon, developed a dataflow processor aimed at the AI training and inference market.

AI processors using dataflow look very promising.The Genesis Mission is DOE’s big new story: a national push to use AI and world-class supercomputers to crack science’s toughest mysteries and supercharge US research. It consists of 26 national importance challenges and a cast of tech giants—AMD, Nvidia, Microsoft, and others—plus scrappy innovators betting on fresh ideas. Instead of relying only on classic CPUs and GPUs, newcomers like NextSilicon and other dataflow chip designers are reinventing how computers think, so tomorrow’s breakthroughs can finally escape today’s bottlenecks.Genesis is a DOE national mission to accelerate science through artificial intelligence and build the world's most powerful scientific platform to accelerate discovery science, strengthen national security,…
