Meta Testing Its First Self-Developed RISC-V Architecture AI Training Chip

Meta Testing Its First Self-Developed RISC-V Architecture AI Training Chip

On March 12, news reported by Reuters, citing two informed sources, indicates that Meta is testing its first self-developed RISC-V architecture chip designed for training AI systems. This custom-designed chip will meet Meta’s own computational needs and reduce reliance on major AI chip manufacturers like NVIDIA. It is understood that the testing of Meta’s self-developed … Read more

Understanding Spin-Orbit Coupling in 3d Transition-Metal Oxides

The core of solid-state physics is band theory, which classifies the crystalline world into two categories: “insulators” and “conductors”. Then, to fill in the gaps for semiconductor applications at room temperature, the concept of “semiconductors” was added. This is now common knowledge taught in high schools, marking the establishment of band theory.^_^. Of course, band … Read more
