The Dynamic Neural Accelerator (DNA) II offers a groundbreaking approach to enhancing edge AI performance. This neural network architecture core stands out due to its runtime reconfigurable architecture that allows for efficient interconnections between compute components. DNA II supports both convolutional and transformer network applications, accommodating an extensive array of edge AI functions. By leveraging scalable performance, it makes itself a valuable asset in the development of systems-on-chip (SoC) solutions.
DNA II is spearheaded by EdgeCortix's patented data path architecture, focusing on technical optimization to maximize available computing resources. This architecture uniquely allows DNA II to maintain low power consumption while flexibly adapting to various task demands across diverse AI models. Its higher utilization rates and faster processing set it apart from traditional IP core solutions, addressing industry demands for more efficient and effective AI processing.
In concert with the MERA software stack, DNA II optimally sequences computation tasks and resource distribution, further refining efficiency and effectiveness in processing neural networks. This integration of hardware and software not only aids in reducing on-chip memory bandwidth usage but also enhances the parallel processing ability of the system, catering to the intricate needs of modern AI computing environments.
