Embarrassingly Parallel Problems: Definitions, Challenges and Solutions
Benchmarking an NPU at Scale
With every SDK release, Quadric automatically recompiles and re-profiles the entire model zoo across a broad sweep of hardware configurations. The results land in DevStudio for any SoC architect to explore â no sales call, no handpicked numbers.
Your NPU Learned to Listen
Whisper runs end-to-end on Chimera. Encoder and decoder compiled as native GPNPU kernels, INT4 weights, FP16 attention, top-1 token match against the float32 reference. Scales to four cores with a flag, no recompile.
Can Your NPU Run DOOM? Chimera Can.
Is your NPU DOOMed? Quadric's Chimera GPNPU runs every AI model â and a complete DOOM engine. Find out why Quadric is different.
Heterogeneous NPU Data Movement Tax: Intel's Own Slides Tell the Story
At Quadric, we have long argued that heterogeneous NPU designs â those that stitch together multiple specialized fixed-function engines â carry an unavoidable hidden cost: data has to move. A lot. And data movement burns power, adds latency, and creates silicon-area overhead that scales with every new generation of AI models. Now, Intel has made that case for us.
