IBM<\/a>\u00a0has unveiled its\u00a0long-awaited ‘Telum’\u00a0chip, built with AI inference acceleration that will allow for\u00a0fraud<\/a>\u00a0detection while a transaction is occurring.<\/p>\n

The new processor was showcased at the annual Hot Chips conference with the\u00a0first Telum-based system planned for 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Telum is IBM’s first processor to contain “on-chip”\u00a0acceleration for artificial intelligence (AI)\u00a0inference<\/a>. The tech giant spent three years developing the “breakthrough” hardware, which is designed to help customers across banking, finance, trading, insurance applications and customer interactions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The processor is designed to enable applications to run efficiently where the data resides, differentiating it from traditional\u00a0enterprise AI<\/a>\u00a0approaches that tend to require significant memory and data movement capabilities to handle inferencing. With the accelerator in close proximity to mission-critical data and applications, however, IBM suggests that enterprises can conduct high volume inferencing for real time-sensitive transactions without invoking off-platform AI solutions, which could potentially impact performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Today, businesses typically apply detection techniques to catch fraud after it occurs, a process that can be time-consuming and compute-intensive due to the limitations of today’s technology, particularly when fraud analysis and detection is conducted far away from mission-critical transactions and data,”\u00a0IBM said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Due to latency requirements, complex fraud detection often cannot be completed in real-time – meaning a bad actor could have already successfully purchased goods with a stolen credit card before the retailer is aware fraud has taken place.”<\/p>\n

The chip was built on 7nm extreme ultraviolet tech, created by Samsung, and features eight processor cores that have a “deep-scalar out-of-order instruction pipeline” running with more than 5GHz clock frequency. IBM said that these were optimised for the demands of heterogeneous enterprise-class workloads.<\/p>\n

It features a completely redesigned cache and chip-interconnection infrastructure that provides 32MB\u00a0cache<\/a>\u00a0per core that can scale to 32 Telum chips. The dual-chip module design contains 22 billion transistors and 19 miles of wire on 17 metal layers. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
