In the cloud, Alibaba has launched its own custom accelerator, following Amazon and Google. Facebook is in the game too and Microsoft has a significant stake in Graphcore. Intel\/Mobileye have a strong lock on edge AI in cars and wireless infrastructure builders are adding AI capabilities to small cells and base stations for 5G. All of these applications depend on a lot of flexibility and future-proofing for long-term relevance in rapidly evolving environments.<\/p><p>But there are many applications, probably accounting for the great majority of units, for which power, cost or transparent use models are much more important metrics. An agricultural monitor in a field in the middle of nowhere, a microwave voice controller, traffic sensors distributed across a large city. For these a general-purpose solution, even a general-purpose AI solution, may be overkill. An application-specific AI function would be much more compelling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the entire article on <a href=\"https:\/\/semiwiki.com\/eda\/282374-high-level-synthesis-at-the-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SemiWiki <\/a>originally published on February 19th, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excerpt from article: \u201cHigh-Level Synthesis at the Edge\u201d Custom AI acceleration continues to gather steam.
