xcore.ai

HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW LATENCY, MULTI-PURPOSE PROCESSOR FOR THE INTELLIGENT IOT

Integrating control, IO, DSP and AI in a fully software-configurable SoC enabling fast-to-market product deployment.

With its unique multi-threaded micro-architecture, xcore.ai provides low latency with highlydeterministic performance, ideal for intelligent IoT applications. Each xcore.ai features 16logical cores split between 2 multi-threaded processor ‘tiles’. Each tile is equipped with512kB of SRAM and a vector unit providing integer and floating point ALUs. A powerful interprocessor communication infrastructure provides high speed communication between eachintegrated processor, and multiple xcore.ai SoCs, for ultimate scalability. All this, within a single,homogeneous, and powerful development environment.
