Microsoft's FPGA-powered supercomputers can translate Wikipedia faster than you can blink
Microsoft’s servers are now powered by optimized custom chips that joined together to translate the entirety of Wikipedia in literally less than a blink of an eye.
In a demonstration at Microsoft’s Ignite conference on Orlando, Microsoft tapped what it called its “global hyperscale” cloud to translate 3 billion words across 5 million articles in less than a tenth of a second.
Microsoft helped custom-design the programmable logic components, or Field Programmable Gate Arr
