Design your Soc faster with Chimera GPNPU

One architecture for ML inference plus pre-and-post processing simplifies SoC hardware design and radically speeds up ML 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, ML graph code) between different kinds of processors.
2
Runs EVERY kind of model - from classic backbones, to vision transformers, to Large Language Models (LLMs)
3
Up to 864 TOPs. A solution for every application segment - including ASIL-ready cores for Automotive applications
