Language Processing Units (LPUs) are specialized electronic circuits designed to process language-related tasks, such as natural language processing (NLP), language translation, and computational linguistics tasks. The terms "Language Processing Unit" and "LPU" are trademarked by Groq.[1][2][3], a company that develops hardware optimized for the processing demands of large language models.
LPUs aim to enhance the efficiency and performance of language model processing over traditional computing units like CPUs and GPUs, catering specifically to the unique requirements of understanding and generating human language.
History[edit]
The concept of LPUs emerged as a response to the computational bottlenecks faced by AI language applications. Groq Inc., founded in 2016[4], pioneered the development of the LPU, recognizing the need for a specialized processing unit to overcome these bottlenecks. Jonathan Ross, one of Groq's founders, had previously helped invent Google's tensor processing unit (TPU) AI chip[5].
Function[edit]
The LPU is tailored to optimize performance for language processing, providing a unique blend of speed and efficiency. For instance, the Groq LPU is capable of generating an impressive 500 tokens per second[6], significantly outperforming other models such as ChatGPT-3.5
Applications[edit]
LPUs, exemplified by the Groq LPU, are well-suited for accelerating various AI language applications, including natural language processing, chatbots, and language translation. They support standard machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX for inference[7]..
Performance[edit]
The Groq LPU has a lower total response time and higher throughput than other service providers when serving Llama 2 Chat (70B)[8]
