And Speed Up Porting of New ML Models

Quadric is the leading processor architecture optimized for on-device artificial intelligence computing. Only the Quadric Chimera GPNPU delivers high ML inference performance and also runs complex C++ code without forcing the developer to artificially partition code between two or three different kinds of processors.

Quadric’s Chimera GPNPU is a licensable processor that scales from 1 to 16 TOPs.  Chimera GPNPUs run all types ML networks - including classical backbones, vision transformers, and large language models.

Design your Soc faster with Chimera GPNPU

Traditional Design

Quadric GPNPU Design

One architecture for ML inference plus pre-and-post processing simplifies SoC hardware design and software 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
Scales from 1 to 16 TOPs in a single core, and multicore scales to >100 TOPs
