Mipsology, OKI team for FPGA-driven machine learning

US machine learning compiler expert Mipsology has teamed with Japanese design and development company OKI IDS on FPGA-based high speed image processing AI services.OKI IDS will use Mipsology's Zebra ML inference accelerator for application designs targeting the fast-growing ML needs in the Japanese market: automotive, industrial robotics, smart cities, medical applications, and video monitoring."We are excited by our collaboration with OKI IDS to supply the Japanese demand for neural network computation that supports high-speed, low-latency image processing," said Ludovic Larzul, CEO and founder of Mipsology. "OKI IDS and Mipsology have a natural synergy and mutual expertise in FPGA design and machine learning that will result in our delivering industry-leading products based on FPGAs."ML Zebra-enabled FPGAs can compute massive amounts of ML data with exceptionally high efficiency, 2.5X more than GPUs, and demonstrate lower power consumption, better environmental adaptability, and a significantly longer lifespan than GPUs, greatly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).OKI IDS's expertise in designing complex FPGA-based systems, now …
