Quadric's Chimera GPNPU is an adaptable processor core designed to respond efficiently to the demand for AI-driven computations across multiple application domains. Offering up to 864 TOPS, this licensable core seamlessly integrates into system-on-chip designs needing robust inference performance. By maintaining compatibility with all forms of AI models, including cutting-edge large language models and vision transformers, it ensures long-term viability and adaptability to emerging AI methodologies.
Unlike conventional architectures, the Chimera GPNPU excels by permitting complete workload management within a singular execution environment, which is vital in avoiding the cumbersome and resource-intensive partitioning of tasks seen in heterogeneous processor setups. By facilitating a unified execution of matrix, vector, and control code, the Chimera platform elevates software development ease, and substantially improves code maintainability and debugging processes.
In addition to high adaptability, the Chimera GPNPU capitalizes on Quadric's proprietary Compiler infrastructure, which allows developers to transition rapidly from model conception to execution. It transforms AI workflows by optimizing memory utilization and minimizing power expenditure through smart data storage strategies. As AI models grow increasingly complex, the Chimera GPNPU stands out for its foresight and capability to unify AI and DSP tasks under one adaptable and programmable platform.
