- Testing and Debugging: Write comprehensive unit tests, conduct thorough debugging, and ensure the stability and reliability of kernel-level code
- Documentation: Create clear and concise documentation for code, APIs, and best practices to facilitate collaboration within the team
- Research and Innovation: Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in kernel development, tensor optimization, and machine learning to propose innovative solutions and improvements
Our take
Advances in artificial intelligence apps, combined with a global chip shortage, are strong tailwinds for chip processor Tenstorrent. The semi-conducter developer is designing specialized chips for running artificial intelligence applications, building chips for what it calls "software 2.0".
The company’s unique approach is to build for this future software, which it believes will be written at a higher level. Combining this with conditional computing, Tenstorrent supports a scalable distributed network approach that is analogous to a human brain.
While the market for specialised AI hardware is destined to be gigantic, the company has to compete with a plethora of hopeful startups (as well as major tech companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm). That said, Tenstorrent boasts an excellent trajectory so far, with its latest moves including unveiling its high-end Wormhole AI processors, and a partnership with LG which will see the development of chips for "Affectionate Intelligence".
