Accelerating Legacy Components
Wen: I'm not sow what you mean by legacy compute. Mean all of computing, our applications. And an design and accelerator forand it's rely a question of finding applications where a effort reward ratio is right. For things like domain specific accelerators, there's certainly the notion of accelerating the corps kernel of confute that is happening over and over again. So i think those applications are the ones that that are really a nio. They're the easier, the low hanging fruit for acceleration. There are other applications where you look at the code, and it's, you know, several hundred thousand lines of code, and hard to tell any one place. Most of the time
