High-Performance Edge AI Accelerator

Overview

The NeuroMosaic Processor (NMP) family is shattering the barriers to deploying ML by delivering a general-purpose architecture and simple programmer’s model to enable virtually any class of neural network architecture and use case.

Our unique differentiation starts with the ability to simultaneously execute multiple AI/ML models significantly expanding the realm of capability over existing approaches. This game-changing advantage is provided by the co-developed NeuroMosAIc Studio software’s ability to dynamically allocate HW resources to match the target workload resulting in highly optimized, low-power execution. The designer may also select the optional on-device training acceleration extension enabling iterative learning post-deployment. This key capability cuts the cord to cloud dependence while elevating the accuracy, efficiency, customization, and personalization without reliance on costly model retraining and deployment, thereby extending device lifecycles.

Key Features

  • Performance: Up to 16 TOPs
  • MACs (8x8): 4K, 8K
  • Data Types: 1-bit, INT8, INT16
  • Internal SRAM: Up to 16 MB
  • AXI x3 interfaces

Benefits

  • As the highest-performance member of the NeuroMosAIc Processor family, the NMP-750 delivers over 16TOPS in its largest configuration making it an ideal choice for edge and edge network devices. A smaller configuration option allows engineers to scale back performance where area and power are the primary design criteria.
  • Numerous architectural advances result in higher convolution throughput and 2x compute density while lowering total area by 25%. The addition of MISH and SWISH activation function support extends efficiency while an upgraded RISC-V controller delivers 4X initialization and post-processing performance over the NMP-500. Alternatively, designers may elect to use the Arm® Cortex®-M or Cortex-A for further flexibility and software extension.
  • The patented and co-developed hardware and software architecture enables end-user flexibility to mold multiple models to the accelerator resources to achieve simultaneous, sequential or event-based requirements.
