Your Spreadsheet Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story. Thinking of adding an NPU to your next SoC design? Then you’ll probably begin the search by sending prospective vendors a list of questions, typically called an RFI […]

In July of 1887, Carl Benz held the first public outing for his “vehicle powered by a gas engine” – the first automobile ever invented. Nine short months after the first car was publicly displayed, […]

Graph Compilers are just getting started! The GNU C Compiler – GCC – was first released in 1987.  36 years ago.  Several version streams are still actively being developed and enhanced, with GCC13 being the […]

Transformers were first introduced by the team at Google Brain in 2017 in their paper, “Attention is All You Need“. Since their introduction, transformers have inspired a flurry of investment and research which have produced […]

We demonstrated our Quadric Developer Studio at Embedded Vision Summit on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 22 and 23, 2023, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. We’d like to say the crowds went wild, but when’s […]

A big reason purely electric car sales only reached 6% of new vehicle sales in Q3 2022 is the fear of running low on battery power and the lack of readily available fast-charging infrastructure. This […]

With the passage of time, Fallback only gets worse. ML models are rapidly evolving, so the reference models of 2022 or 2023 will be replaced with newer, more accurate and more complex ML models in […]

Quadric's GPNPU delivers benefits to both SoC developers and downstream software programmers, speeding both chip design and application development. Why Chip Designers Need a General Purpose Neural Processing Unit (GPNPU) The Rise of AI in […]

In this blog post, quadric explores the acceleration of the Non-Maximal Suppression (NMS) algorithm used by object detection neural networks such as Tiny Yolo V3. We dive into the challenges of accelerating NMS, and why […]

We want to drive home the point that along with Neural Network acceleration, we also accelerate data parallelism for classical algorithms, as well. We selected the Fourier Transform because of its historical and continued importance […]

The first in a series of Algorithm Stories. In this blog post, the first in a series, we would like to reinforce the idea that our architecture is code-driven. On our architecture overview page, we […]
