Mini toolsDefinition
Custom designed integrated circuits optimized for specific computing tasks rather than general-purpose computation.
Detailed Explanation
ASICs are integrated circuits customized for a particular use rather than intended for general-purpose use. They are designed to perform specific tasks with maximum efficiency in terms of performance, power consumption, and sometimes cost at scale. For AI applications, ASICs are often designed to accelerate specific types of neural network computations or other machine learning algorithms.
Use Cases
Cryptocurrency mining, machine learning inference, signal processing, network routing, industrial control systems
