世界で初めてAIの演算に特化したプロセッサ“Intia”を開発、発想が見事。
Game technology is continuously evolving to help developers build better games. Unfortunately, recent advances in graphics quality and physical effects have not been matched by a similar increase in the sophistication and believability of artificial intelligence (AI). In the words of one leading developer, “characters still act like cardboard cut-outs”. Indeed, the vision of a “living, breathing” world is yet to be fulfilled – a world where thousands of non-player characters (NPCs) move and act intelligently at all times, within a large, constantly changing environment.
The AI acceleration technology developed by AIseek addresses this fundamental challenge. By accelerating CPU-intensive, low-level AI routines, AIseek frees developers to create sophisticated, higher-level AI on a massive scale. Moreover, with accelerated AI, game worlds can be large, complex and constantly changing – without compromising on the number or intelligence of the NPCs inhabiting those worlds.
つまり、Intiaは、AIの演算を変わりに行い、ゲームをする際のCPUの負担を軽減してくれる。
