Perfect-Fit Solutions

Origin Evolution™ for Mobile offers out-of-the-box compatibility with popular LLM and CNN networks. Attention-based processing optimization and advanced memory management ensure optimal AI performance across a variety of today’s standard and emerging neural networks. Featuring a hardware and software co-designed architecture, Origin Evolution for Mobile scales to 64 TFLOPS in a single core.

Bringing LLMs to Smartphones

Smartphone makers are adding more AI to their products, including advanced LLM and VLM capabilities, as they enable a new set of applications, including personal assistants, language translation and learning, content generation, and advanced productivity tools. The desire for a better user experience, the lowest latency, and increased privacy is driving a reduction in reliance on the cloud for inference. However, as LLMs may be 20 to 50X larger than more traditional AI networks, there are significant memory and processor hurdles to overcome before these networks can be deployed fully on smartphones in a power-friendly manner.

Innovative Architecture

Origin Evolution uses Expedera’s unique packet-based architecture to achieve unprecedented NPU efficiency. Packets, which are contiguous fragments of neural networks, are an ideal way to overcome the hurdle of large memory movements and differing network layer sizes, which are exacerbated by LLMs. Packets are routed through discrete processing blocks, including Feed Forward, Attention, and Vector, which accommodate the varying operations, data types, and precisions required when running different LLM and CNN networks. Origin Evolution includes a high-speed external memory streaming interface that is compatible with the latest memory standards.

Choose the Features You Need
Customization brings many advantages, including increased performance, lower latency, reduced power consumption, and eliminating dark silicon waste. Expedera works with smartphone customers to understand their use case(s), PPA goals, and deployment needs during their design stage. Using this information, we configure Origin Evolution to create a customized solution that perfectly fits the application.

Unique Packet Architecture

Ultra-Efficient Neural Network Processing

Accepting standard, custom, and black box networks in a variety of AI representations, Origin Evolution offers a wealth of user features such as mixed precision quantization. Expedera’s unique packet-based processing reduces much larger networks into smaller, contiguous fragments, overcoming the hurdle of large memory movements and offering much higher processor utilization. Packets are routed through discrete processing blocks, including Feed Forward, Attention, and Vector, which accommodate the varying operations, data types, and precisions required when running different types of networks. Internal memory handles intermediate needs, while the memory streaming interface interfaces with off-chip storage.
