Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The SN50 is SambaNova's accelerator chip built on a reconfigurable dataflow architecture rather than a fixed graphics-processor design. A tiled grid of reconfigurable compute and on-chip memory units can be wired at runtime into a custom dataflow graph matching a specific model, letting one operation's output stream directly into the next without round-tripping through off-chip memory.
