Electronics360 (July 10, 2014)

TeraDeep Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.) was formed in 2013 as a spin off from Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana) to commercialize research into multilayer convolutional neural networks as a means of efficient processing for such tasks as cognitive vision processing.

The company has developed an FPGA-based hardware module to show off the capabilities of such networks. It calls this the nn-X processor and it is pitching the technology as something that could be added to mobile phones, tablet computers and wearable equipment to perform image recognition and scene classification without flattening the batteries.
