Naveen Rao, CEO and co-founder of Nervana intends to continue development and expansion in the deep learning framework, platform, and hardware with the help of Nervana’s expertise in deep learning algorithms. Moreover, it will enhance TCO of Intel Xeon and Intel Xeon Phi processors. Even Nervana’s state-of-the-art technology will reach the masses as soon as possible because of Intel. The startup’s team will soon join Intel’s Data Centre Group, once the deal is sealed.
