Systems and methods for modular artificial intelligence (ai) appliances

Abstract

Systems and methods for modular Artificial Intelligence (AI) appliances are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an AI appliance may include: a base module having a Systems-on-Chip (SoC) and a memory coupled to, or integrated into the SoC, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the SoC, cause the AI appliance to: communicate with a client Information Handling System (IHS), and determine whether to change a configuration of a discrete AI accelerator coupled to the SoC based, at least in part, upon whether the communication is over: (a) a local port, or (b) a network port; and a floor module coupled to a bottom portion of the base module, where the floor module comprises the discrete AI accelerator.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
