AI chipmaker Hailo accelerates deep learning at the edge - SiliconANGLE

Artificial intelligence chip company Hailo Technologies Ltd. said today it's launching two new acceleration modules that will boost the processing capabilities of edge devices that run its specialist hardware. Hailo burst onto the AI scene in 2019 with a customized processor for running deep learning workloads at the edge of the network. The company, which is primarily focused on the automotive sector, said at the time that its Hailo-8 Deep Learning chip enables devices such as autonomous vehicles, smart cameras, drones and AR/VR platforms to run sophisticated deep learning applications at the edge that could previously be hosted only in cloud data centers. The Hailo-8 processor, which is smaller than a penny, was built from the ground up with completely redesigned memory, control and compute architecture components that enable "higher performance, lower power and minimal latency." Hailo also provides a software development kit for developers to build apps customized for the hardware.
