The third generation of general-purpose neural processing units (GPNPUs) by Quadric introduces pre-integrated clusters of two, four or eight cores to deliver up to 108 TOPS. This latest iteration has increased performance and optimisations for generative AI. the company has also introduced a safety enhanced version for automotive applications. The company described the Chimera QC series as NPUs with a ...
Ceva’s BX DSP cores and Whispro speech recognition software for conversational AI now also support Tensorflow Lite for microcontrollers, a framework for deploying tiny machine learning on processors in edge devices. Tiny machine learning allows AI to operate in low power, battery operated IoT devices for sensor data analytics of audio, voice, image and motion. Ceva says its approach to ...
The company introduced the second-generation NeuPro architecture for edge devices. NeuPro-S processors address the need to scale up its NeuPro architecture to work in heterogeneous systems, explained Yair Siegel, director of segment marketing. There are three processors available, targeting the mobile, home and automotive markets, all have safety standards enabled, added Siegel. Launched at this week’s AutoSens in Brussels, Belgium ...
Rockchip, the telecom IC company, has licensed the CEVA-XM4 imaging and vision DSP to enhance the imaging and computer vision capabilities of its SoC product lines targeting smartphones, ADAS, drones, robotics and other smart camera devices.
Synopsys has added to its processor IP offering with new ARC EM processors with an enhanced instruction set architecture that combines RISC and DSP processing with support for an XY memory system. The EM9D and EM11D processor cores benefit from being able to retrieve instructions and data from memories that are tightly coupled to the processor pipeline. This can reduce the number of accesses to system ...
Qualcomm says it is more power efficient to run some operations in a mobile phone using a dedicated digital signal processor (DSP) rather than the CPU. As a result it has added a larger DSP element to its Snapdragon 820 mobile processor. DSP elements and CPUs with DSP extensions are traditionally used to provide more power efficient processing is specific applications ...
There are technical challenges involved with the architecture of the frequency interleaving that has been used to date in gigahertz bandwidth oscilloscopes, writes Dean Miles of Tektronix. Rising data communication rates are driving the need for very high bandwidth real-time oscilloscopes in the range of 60GHz-70GHz. These instruments are essential for validating and debugging new designs in coherent optical modulation ...
According to ADI, the online community has achieved more than 100% annual membership growth since it was first created in 2009
New Scale dual piezo motor driver ASIC and development suite for Squiggle micro motor.
Analog Devices has decided to sell its mobile phone radio and baseband chipset business to Taiwan-based semiconductor company MediaTek. The deal which includes ADI’s Othello radio and SoftFone baseband chipset product lines, as well as certain cellular handset baseband support operations is valued at approximately $350m. As part of the deal, MediaTek will gain a global team of approximately 400 ...
