Ceva has introduced that its award-winning Ceva-NeuPro-Nano Embedded AI NPUs have gained vital traction within the AIoT and MCU markets, with a number of buyer wins and an enhanced improvement studio that covers the complete software program design cycle for AI and embedded purposes.
The Ceva-NeuPro-Nano 32 and 64 MAC NPUs (NPN32 and NPN64, respectively), supply a novel mixture of energy, efficiency and price efficiencies wanted for semiconductor corporations and OEMs to deploy embedded AI fashions on their SoCs. The NPUs are uniquely an all-in-one resolution that can be utilized for function extraction, neural community compute, DSP workloads and management code execution and thus present good efficiency for related voice, imaginative and prescient and sensing workloads. The Ceva-NeuPro-Nano NPUs are distinctive processors in addition to highlighted by their Coremark/MHz rating of 6.0.
Following the introduction of Ceva-NeuPro-Nano, Ceva has achieved a number of milestones that improve the event expertise and ecosystem for its clients and customers, most notably:
- The discharge of Ceva-NeuPro Studio as an IDE built-in resolution, enabling clients to develop, optimise, deploy and consider AI purposes on Ceva-NeuPro-Nano. Key options embrace:
- Trade-standard Eclipse-based IDE
- Assist for a number of open-source AI frameworks
- Inference code era and execution
- Simulation, emulation and debugging
- Entry to Ceva’s Mannequin Zoo for fast benchmarking
- APIs to enabled clean integration of every element into semiconductor firm SDKs
- Integration of Ceva-NeuPro Studio with Edge Impulse Studio, enabling clients to:
- Simply consider AI fashions on Ceva-NeuPro-Nano earlier than silicon availability
- Deploy and retrain fashions to be used on Ceva-NeuPro-Nano utilizing NVIDIA TAO Toolkit
- Streamline improvement with a unified workflow
- Speed up time-to-market with prototyping and testing
- Winner of two trade awards:
- Greatest IP/ Processor of the Yr 2024 award on the EE Awards Asia occasion
- 2024 IoT Edge Computing Excellence Award
Chad Lucien, the vp and basic supervisor of the sensor and audio enterprise unit at Ceva, stated, “The fast adoption of our Ceva-NeuPro-Nano Embedded AI NPUs is a testomony to our staff’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of embedded AI. MCU and AIoT semiconductor corporations have praised the Ceva-NeuPro-Nano’s effectivity as an NPU and its potential to concurrently deal with the calls for of neural community compute, function extraction and processing complicated DSP workloads all in a self-contained structure. Our newest buyer wins and enhanced Ceva-NeuPro Studio show our dedication to delivering progressive options that empower our clients to create clever, environment friendly, and scalable edge AI purposes.”
Stay demos of the Ceva-NeuPro-Nano NPU operating embedded AI purposes and Edge Impulse Studio might be proven at Ceva’s sales space throughout CES 2025, positioned within the Venetian Ballroom – Bassano 2709.
