In brief The latest results by benchmarking consortium MLPerf, tracking the best chips for training the most popular neural networks, are out and a new player has entered the game: Graphcore.
Each MLPerf release is pretty standard. A sprawling spreadsheet records the time various systems take to train or run a particular machine-learning model; these numbers are submitted by hardware vendors.
Nvidia and Google pretty much always lead the pack so the latest results aren’t particularly surprising. What is different this year is that Graphcore has joined for the first time. It’s a good sign; it signals their technology is maturing and that it’s willing to publicly compare itself to competitors.

New Delhi [India], May 22 (ANI): International Hockey Federation (FIH) President Narinder Dhruv Batra on Saturday created a historic milestone as he became the first Indian to be elected as President of the FIH for the second consecutive term at the 47th FIH Congress.
Batra s victory was based on unanimous decision as he secured 63 votes out of 124 to edge past a tough opponent in Belgium s Marc Coudron, the only other candidate for the FIH Presidency at the Congress.
