Unleash Performance in AI Applications

Expedera’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU) features a unified compute pipeline that eliminates memory bottlenecks to deliver breakthrough performance in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. Memory efficiency dictates performance, power and cost in SoC designs. Expedera’s Origin™ is a neural engine IP line of products that reduce memory requirements to the bare minimum, dramatically reducing overhead to unlock performance and power efficiency. But Origin does more. By moving software burdens to hardware, Origin enables a simplified software stack and allows TensorFlow to execute directly in hardware.

Origin achieves a sustained single-core performance of up to 128 TOPS with typical utilization rates of 70-90% (measured in silicon running common AI workloads such as ResNet). This best-in-class performance and utilization allow users to run visual, audio, or text-based (generative) AI models faster with less power consumption than alternative solutions, including native support for INT-based, floating point, and transformer-based networks. And while performance and power are important, so is silicon area. Origin is third-party verified to produce superior performance per mm² versus competitive solutions, assuring AI chip designers the best combination of processing, power, and area.
