CVQNN training on Intel Habana Gaudi Deep Learning processor

PennyLane Plugins PennyLane Strawberry Fields

Hello:

I was wondering if it would be possible to do hybrid continuous-variable quantum-classical neural network training with the PennyLane/Strawberry Fields plugin (using strawberryfields.tf device) and Keras/TensorFlow on the Intel Habana Gaudi Deep Learning processor and would there be any speedup over a V100?

Hey @art! I’m not sure :thinking: … Intel doesn’t say what the device is (e.g., GPU, CPU, etc.) on the website for this processor, only that it’s an “alternative to existing GPUs”. Are you able to try it out and see if it works?
