Our core technology: Adaptiva

Adaptiva is a neural network accelerator designed to optimize its internal configuration to process the active task in the most energy-efficient manner possible. Depending on the workload, Adaptiva delivers between 4 to 100 TOp/s/W of energy efficiency. An example of dynamic workloads:

  • Always-on tasks

    • Continuous classification of temporal signals from a biomedical sensor

    • Motion detection and classification from accelerometers

    • Audio key phrase detection from a sound source

  • Interrupt-driven computationally intensive tasks

    • Image segmentation

    • Speech translation

    • Object detection and identification

Evaluation board: AdaptiveStorm

We are working with CSEM on building an evaluation SoC for Adaptiva, called AdaptiveStorm. A high level overview of the planned chip is as follows:

  • Dual-core RISC-V ASIC

    • Watchdog mode for ultra-low power

    • Nullhop mode for high throughput

  • Neural network co-processor: Adaptiva

  • Supported neural networks

    • Convolutional neural networks including resNet, VGG, MobileNet

    • Recurrent neural networks with multiple layers

Availability
