The Other Guy's NPU

Messy, Heterogeneous, Only Partially Flexible,
Nightmare to Program & Tune

Quadric GPNPU

Single Core, 100% C++ Programmable
Single Unified Binary for Complete Inference Workload

One architecture for AI inference plus pre-and-post processing simplifies SoC hardware design and radically speeds up AI model porting and software application programming.

Three REASONS TO CHOOSE the Chimera GPNPU

1

Handles matrix and vector operations and scalar (control) code in one execution pipeline. No need to artificially partition application code (C++ code, AI graph code) between different kinds of processors.

2

Runs EVERY kind of model - from classic backbones, to vision transformers, to Large Language Models (LLMs) - and all the models that have not been invented yet!

3

Up to 864 TOPS. Suitable for every application segment - including ASIL-ready cores for automotive applications
