KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- MIPS Technologies Inc has announced a strategic partnership with NetSpeed Systems Inc to deliver interoperable solutions that enable leading-edge performance in system on chips (SoCs) for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications.
The companies will provide deeper integration of their products for designers to utilise the advanced performance features of the MIPS Warrior I-Class I6500 processors effectively with NetSpeed's Gemini network-on-chip intellectual property (IP).
AI capability is becoming ubiquitous in a growing number of applications including autonomous driving, voice-powered personal assistants like Siri and Alexa, facial recognition, predictive text and many more.
AI, and particularly ML, requires a different kind of processing platform than those commonly used for traditional software programmes.
With AI, the technology must analyse very large quantities of historical data to identify patterns, create behaviour models and, essentially programme itself, which requires a great deal of compute capability with very high performance and low latency for real-time applications.
"Today, all components of the SoC which typically include multiple instances of several different types of processors must work together in a highly orchestrated fashion.
The interconnect fabric is the common glue that can make or break performance, and when tightly integrated with versatile processors such as MIPS I6500-F, it provides the coherent fabric that lets designers mix the on-chip configurations of processing clusters to achieve leading-edge compute capabilities for AI," said chief executive officer of NetSpeed, Sundari Mitra.
MIPS chief financial officer, Krishna Raghavan expects the new AI solutions that MIPS and NetSpeed are working to have a far-reaching impact.
