Many automotive companies have realized the importance of using deep learning chips in achieving the highest level of automation in vehicles, which is leading to an increase in demand for deep learning chips in this field. Achieving higher levels of automation (Level 4/5 automation), also termed full automation, requires the onboard processor to have high computational power.
Hundreds of gigabytes of data are generated from the array of sensors, cameras, radar, light detection and ranging (LIDAR), and ultrasonic instruments, which need to be analyzed by these processors to process information from the unstructured data and make split-second decisions while driving. Moreover, autonomous vehicles are integrated with advanced features such as ADASs, heads-up displays (HUDs), multimodal and intuitive user interfaces, and new-generation automotive cloud services. In ADASs, the deep learning concept has more advantages over traditional algorithms.
For instance, deep learning helps in recognizing and detecting multiple objects, reduces power consumption, enables prediction and the recognition of objects, improves perception, and supports object classification. Thus, such factors are expected to increase the demand for deep learning chips, which will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Rise in adoption of deep learning chips in data center
Deep learning is one of the most revolutionary technologies in the world of AI and ML. It allows machines to recognize patterns based on data provided and tweak algorithms to make accurate predictions or classifications. To accomplish this, deep learning models require high computational power that is often beyond the reach of traditional computing systems. As a result, data centers are increasingly turning to deep learning chips to optimize deep learning model training and inference processes.
The adoption of deep learning chips is rapidly increasing due to their ability to increase performance while minimizing power consumption costs. These chips are specially designed to perform the complex computing power needed by deep learning models, and their unique architecture has been optimized to streamline deep learning processes. This results in a significant reduction in the time required to train algorithms. Furthermore, deep learning chips also provide high scalability, making them ideal for data center operations. The ability to train massive deep learning models at a faster rate is vital for data centers, particularly in handling big data and complex tasks such as image recognition and natural language processing.
Moreover, the use of deep learning chips also improves the accuracy of predictions made by deep learning models. As deep learning models rely heavily on the availability of accurate data, using deep learning chips in data centers increases the accuracy of the models, resulting in better predictions and classifications. Currently, data centers rely mainly on GPUs for deep learning processes. However, deep learning chips offer higher performance per watt, enabling data centers to achieve high levels of efficiency while reducing operating and maintenance costs.
Consequently, the adoption of deep learning chips is expected to continue to increase in data centers as the demand for high-performance deep learning models continues to increase. Thus, such factors are expected to increase the demand for deep learning chips, which will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
