What does TOPS stand for?
TOPS stands for Tera Operations Per Second. It is a metric used to measure the potential peak AI inferencing performance of a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), taking into account the architecture and operating frequency.
TOPS is calculated based on the architecture of the NPU and the frequency at which it operates. These factors determine the maximum number of operations the NPU can perform per second, providing a benchmark for its AI inferencing capabilities.
Why are TOPS important for AI applications?
TOPS are important because they provide a standardized measure of an NPU's performance potential, allowing developers and businesses to assess how well an AI application can run on different hardware configurations. This helps in making informed decisions about technology investments and optimizations.
