Options 1 and 2 are of course the ‘scale out’ options, whereas option 3 is ‘scale up’. An IDS/IPS monitors network flows and matches incoming packets (or more strictly, Protocol Data Units, PDUs) against a set of rules. The FPGA hardware really wants to operate in a highly parallel mode using fixed size data structures.

DeepMind’s Gato is an AI model that can be taught to carry out many different kinds of tasks based on a single transformer neural network. The claim is that AGI is now simply a matter of improving performance, both in hardware and software, and making models bigger, using more data and more kinds of data across more modes.
