PowerVR Neural Network Accelerator

Overview

The Series3NX-F brings programmable extensibility to the Series3NX architecture. It combines a Series3NX core with a neural network programmable unit (NNPU); a highly neural network optimised GPGPU, based on our industry-proven Rogue architecture. This provides developers with even greater flexibility in optimising their applications to run on the Series3NX architecture.

Key Features

  • Flexible bit-depth data type support
    • As a fully flexible solution, the Series3NX supports neural network bit depths from 16 down to 4-bit, reducing bandwidth and increasing performance without compromising inference accuracy.
  • Lossless weight compression
    • Complementing its low-bit depth support, the Series3NX introduces a new lossless weight compression scheme that reduces network model sizes and bandwidth thus increasing overall performance.
  • Advanced security enablement
    • PowerVR Series3NX integrates with the industry-leading security architectures including a flexible infrastructure that enables integration into custom solutions, enabling rights holders to protect their content where required.
  • Leading performance with low power consumption
    • With the industry’s highest inference/mW, the Series3NX delivers class-leading neural network acceleration with the lowest power consumption.

Applications

  • Security and surveillance
  • Automotive (ADAS)
  • Augmented and Virtual reality
