Deep learning accelerator

High performance-efficient edge deep learning accelerator for small LLM/VLM/VLA and CNN/RNN/LSTM

Overview

AndesAIRE® AnDLA® I370 is a deep learning accelerator (DLA) designed for high-performance, cost-sensitive edge and endpoint AI inference. It supports popular AI framework formats (TensorFlow Lite, PyTorch, ONNX), NN models (CNN/RNN/ViT/SLM) and datatype INT8/INT16.

AndesAIRE® AnDLA® I370 performs a wide range of neural network operations—convolution, fully connected, elementwise, activation, pooling, channel padding, upsampling, and concatenation—and leverages internal DMA and local memory to maximize hardware efficiency. Operator and layer fusion further improve execution efficiency.

Key configurable parameters of AndesAIRE® AnDLA® I370 include MAC count, local memory size, Programmable Tensor Operator Set Architecture, and DSU (divide/square), delivering flexible computing power up to 4 TOPS at 1 GHz for diverse applications.
