Heterogeneous Acceleration for Deep Learning: From CPU Limitations to AI Processors

The article explains why general‑purpose CPUs can no longer meet deep‑learning demands due to intrinsic scaling limits and memory‑bandwidth bottlenecks, and surveys how heterogeneous accelerators—GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs and emerging AI processors with high‑bandwidth memory—provide specialized, high‑parallelism, power‑efficient solutions for both cloud and edge workloads.
