What's insane about it? To me, what Jim O'Flaherty stated is common sense in the field of patents, and any patent attorney would attest to that. If I may add, Jim's last sentence should read "Google's patent application" instead of "Google's patent". The difference is huge, and this may be in the

2016-05-21 Thread
Body of the Japanese text says "TPU is an ASIC developed for Deep Learning with 'ten' times better performance per Watt compared to other technologies such as GPU or FPGA, according to Pichai." So may be it is easier to consider "10 times over Stratix(1) or Vertex7/Xilinx(2)" and not 13 times over
