A Packet-based Architecture For Edge AI Inference

This blog post was originally published at Expedera’s website. It is reprinted here with the permission of Expedera. Despite significant improvements in throughput, edge AI accelerators (Neural Processing Units, or NPUs) are still often underutilized. Inefficient management of weights and activations leads to fewer available cores utilized for multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations. Edge AI applications frequently […]

A Buyers Guide to an NPU

This blog post was originally published at Expedera’s website. It is reprinted here with the permission of Expedera. Choosing the right inference NPU (Neural Processing Unit) is a critical decision for a chip architect.

Sometimes Less is More—Introducing the New Origin E1 Edge AI Processor

All neural networks have similar components, including neurons, synapses, weights, biases, and functions. But each network has unique requirements based on the number of operations, weights, and activations that must be processed. This is apparent when comparing popular networks, as shown in the chart below. Still, in the initial wave of edge AI deployments, many […]

Measuring NPU Performance

This blog post was originally published at Expedera’s website. It is reprinted here with the permission of Expedera. There is a lot more to understanding the capabilities of an AI engine than TOPS per watt. A rather arbitrary measure of the number of operations of an engine per unit of power, this metric completely misses […]
