Conventional Computers vs Artificially Intelligent Computers

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the differences between conventional computers and artificially intelligent (AI) computers, particularly regarding their operating systems. Conventional computers utilize an operating system that includes processes, memory management, scheduling, input/output handling, and file systems. In contrast, AI computers may employ specialized operating systems tailored for specific applications, such as autonomous driving, which require dedicated processors for tasks like radar processing and navigation. Neuromorphic computing, exemplified by Intel's Loihi chip, represents a significant advancement in AI hardware, although its operating system architecture remains less defined compared to traditional systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of conventional computer architecture
  • Familiarity with operating system components (processes, memory management, scheduling)
  • Knowledge of neuromorphic computing concepts
  • Awareness of specialized processors for AI applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Intel's Loihi neuromorphic chip and its applications
  • Explore the principles of neuromorphic engineering
  • Learn about specialized operating systems for AI applications
  • Investigate the role of FFT engines in AI systems
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for computer scientists, AI researchers, hardware engineers, and anyone interested in the evolution of operating systems in the context of artificial intelligence.

Hello.
A conventional computer has an Operating System that has Process, Memory, Scheduler, Input/Output and Files.

My question is:
What the Operating System of Artificially Intelligent Computers will have?Thank you.

Thank you.
There's a wide variety of things that can be considered an "AI" computer. In many cases, the AI computer will be a conventional computer with AI applications.

But a computer dedicated to a specific AI application will probably have specialized engines design to handle problems specific to that application.
So, for example, an AI system intended to drive cars autonomously will probably include radar processors with systems that in turn include FFT engines. It will also include processors for overall navigation and planning and for operating the car. For the FFT Engine, there will be no operating system - it will be managed by a conventional processor. In the other cases, there are a selection of operating systems that can be optimized by the manufacturer to provide exactly the services requires without the overhead of supporting features such as Internet Browsing.
