Fujitsu Touts Faster Deep Learning
Japan’s Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. claims its latest artificial intelligence software enables the world’s fastest machine learning processing.
Japan’s Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. claims its latest artificial intelligence software enables the world’s fastest machine learning processing.
Used in a 2,048 GPU network, the so-called deep learning system completed training calculations in less than 75 seconds—about 30% faster than the previous best. The gain was achieved in part by expanding computational volume per graphic processing unit used for image recognition, according to Fujitsu.
Deep learning is considered a key enabler for next-generation autonomous vehicles. The technology allows vehicles to quickly identify images/patterns and build a reference database that trains software to make decisions based on learned inputs and outcomes.
Fujitsu tested its system at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. The technology was tested on Microsoft Corp.’s ResNet-50 deep-learning neural network.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
