Quadric Announces New Architecture for On-Device AI - Embedded Computing Design

Quadric introduced a unified silicon and software platform that is designed to provide on-device AI. Built to accelerate computation speeds while reducing power consumption, Quadric's new general-purpose processor platform was created to meet the computing needs of autonomous smart sensors, IoT devices, factory automation, robots, 5G infrastructure, and medical imaging. The platform is designed to handle any AI algorithm, as well as classic algorithms used for tasks such as digital signal processing, high-performance computing, and image processing. The Quadric processor architecture is based on a hybrid data-flow and Von Neumann machine that enables high-performance on-device computing for demanding workloads including neural networks, machine learning, computer vision, and basic linear algebra subprograms (BLAS). The instruction-driven architecture enables software manageability of hardware to keep pace with on-device computing.
