SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Internet of Things, Big Data and AI will transform the world's major industries and create the next era of growth. But the computing architectures of the PC and smartphone eras are not tailored to machine learning and inferencing applications in public and private cloud data centers; nor can they satisfy the power and cost requirements of the tens of billions of smart sensors that will be incorporated into industrial and consumer products, creating the Internet of Things.
