An AI Accelerator is specialized computing hardware or architecture designed to execute artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads more efficiently than general-purpose processors. It speeds up operations such as neural-network inference, model training, image processing, and large-scale data analysis.
AI Accelerators enable faster response times, higher processing throughput, and improved energy efficiency for demanding AI applications. They are found in data centers, edge devices, autonomous vehicles, robotics, smartphones, and intelligent cameras. Common examples include GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, and dedicated AI chips. Related terms include AI Processor, Neural Processing Unit, Edge AI, and Machine Learning Hardware.
