The xcore.ai platform stands as an economical and high-performance solution for intelligent IoT applications. Designed with a unique multi-threaded micro-architecture, it supports applications requiring deterministic performance with low latency. The architecture features 16 logical cores, split between two multi-threaded processor tiles, which are equipped with 512 kB of SRAM and a vector unit for both integer and floating-point computations.
This platform excels in enabling high-speed interprocessor communications, allowing tight integration among processors and across multiple xcore.ai SoCs. The xcore.ai offers scalable performance, adapting the tile clock frequency to meet specific application requirements, which optimizes power consumption. Its ability to handle DSP, AI/ML, and I/O processing within a singular development environment makes it a versatile choice for creating smart, connected products.
The adaptability of the xcore.ai extends to various market applications such as voice and audio processing. It supports embedded PHYs for MIPI, USB, and LPDDR control processing, and utilizes FreeRTOS across multiple threads for robust multi-threading performance. On an AI and ML front, the platform includes a 256-bit vector processing unit that supports 8-bit to 32-bit operations, delivering exceptional AI performance with up to 51.2 GMACC/s.
All these features are packaged within a development environment that simplifies the integration of multiple application-specific components. This makes xcore.ai an essential platform for developers aiming to leverage intelligent IoT solutions that scale with application needs.
