Why the PowerVR 2NX NNA is the future of neural net acceleration
For many, PowerVR is closely associated with graphics technology, from the early days of desktop PC gaming to arcade consoles, and later to home consoles and then, of course, to mobile. Indeed, we’ve recently celebrated our 25th anniversary in a series of blog posts. However, PowerVR also includes a range of other IP for vision and AI applications.
This week, PowerVR is adding to its proud history with the addition of an entirely new category of IP – a hardware neural network accelerator: introducing the PowerVR 2NX. We have dubbed this a Neural Network Accelerator (NNA), offering a full hardware solution built from the ground up to support many neural net models and architectures as well as machine learning frameworks, such as Google’s TensorFlow and Caffe, at an industry-leading level of performance and low power consumption.
