Hardware Accelerator

For higher-end devices like drones, service robots, industrial cobots, the Idle Network stack can include the Edge-AI Accelerator IP:

  • IP Core licensed to OEMs → integrated alongside their main SoC.

  • Provides 140 FPS inference throughput @ 50 W, nearly 2× faster than equivalent GPU at 60% less power.

  • Optimized for matrix multiplications (GEMM ops) common in CNNs (Convolutional Neural Nets).

  • Interfaces with the Idle Compiler to accept quantized model binaries.

This gives OEM devices a dual purpose: they perform their primary function and generate financial yield through Idle tasks when idle.
