Quadric
“Chimera General Purpose Neural Processing Unit” (GPNPU), which Quadric independently developed, can provide high performance computing regardless of sensor types. Conventional AI engines usually only run at high speed in neural networks while off-loading pre-processing and boundary processing onto a host system. However, with Quadric’s technology, it is possible to run at high speed with pre-processing, boundary processing, and neural network inference on a single hardware unit.
This unique ability that can support all kinds of data processing will allow for the accommodation of new types of neural networks released in the future without any hardware changes, regardless of the applications.
Features
- Scalability for both low power consumption and accuracy
- Accelerate entire steps of AI pipeline processing
- Flexible architecture to support the evolution of AI models
- IPs for silicon implementation
- Software development kits available
Applications
- AI inferencing
- Pre/Post data processing
- Image processing
- Recombination of signal processing paths
BrainChip
BrainChip has developed a neuromorphic processor for edge applications. This product uses low power consumption without affecting the computing performance by implementing sparse data. A smaller footprint and low power consumption makes this product an optimal solution for large-scale applications. With technical knowledge of both software and hardware acquired through training by BrainChip, MegaChips will evaluate BrainChip products through customer products.
MegaChips supports customers through the licensing of hardware and SDK, consulting of neural network models, and final design of silicon implementation throughout the entire cycle of product development.
Features
- Lower power consumption: μW ～ mW
- On-chip learning: Re-leaning unnecessary on a cloud
- Total support of system development
- IPs for silicon implementation
- Software development kits available
Applications
- Keyword spotting
- All time monitoring
- Age verification
- Person/object classification
