AI chip provider, Untether AI, has based its tsunAImi accelerator cards on its runAI200 chips, which, the company claims, are the first at-memory computation engines. They offer up to 8TOPS/W efficiency to deliver more than twice the computation rates of any other PCIe card, says the company. Instead of a conventional Von Neumann architecture which is designed to move data, ...
iWave’s has created a development platform around Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ ICs that supports HDMI 2.0 at up to 18Gbit/s and video resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz. “The emergence of HDMI 2.0 and the widespread acceptance of this technology is making a deep impact on the multimedia and entertainment industry,” according to iWave, “The urge to support high-speed data transmission ...
Mouser Electronics now stocks iWave’s system on modules (SoMs) which are based on Xilinx, NXP Semiconductors and Intel PSG processors and which are intended for use in industrial, automotive, medical, imaging, networking and AI applications. The iWave portfolio includes the Xilinx ZU19/17/11 Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC SoMs based on the Zynq UltraScale+ multiprocessor SoCs (MPSoCs). They feature FPGA fabric and six ...
The latest report from DMASS shows a downturn in the European semiconductor business across Europe in Q2 and directly links the fall of over 20% to the effects of the global pandemic and ensuing lockdown. The report records a fall in sales of 20.7% to €1.82bn in Q2 compared to the first three months of 2020. The fall was feared ...
The vehicle has been launched in Japan this week with an enhanced version of EyeSight, the vehicle manufacturer’s vision-based ADAS. The Levorg’s EyeSight is powered by Xilinx’s automotive-qualified (XA) 16nm Zynq UltraScale+ multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC). According to the company, it delivers the high-performance, ultra-low latency, and functional safety (ASIL) capabilities to accurately depict and react to dynamic driving scenarios. Tetsuo ...
