The SAKURA-II AI accelerator is designed specifically to address the challenges of energy efficiency and processing demands in edge AI applications. This powerhouse delivers top-tier performance while maintaining a compact and low-power silicon architecture. The key advantage of SAKURA-II is its capability to handle vision and Generative AI applications with unmatched efficiency, thanks to the integration of the Dynamic Neural Accelerator (DNA) core. This core exhibits run-time reconfigurability that supports multiple neural network models simultaneously, adapting in real-time without compromising on speed or accuracy.
Focusing on the demanding needs of modern AI applications, the SAKURA-II easily manages models with billions of parameters, such as Llama 2 and Stable Diffusion, all within a mere power envelope of 8W. It supports a large memory bandwidth and DRAM capacity, ensuring smooth handling of complex workloads. Furthermore, its multiple form factors, including modules and cards, allow for versatile system integration and rapid development, significantly shortening the time-to-market for AI solutions.
EdgeCortix has engineered the SAKURA-II to offer superior DRAM bandwidth, allowing for up to 4x the DRAM bandwidth of other accelerators, crucial for low-latency operations and nimbly executing large-scale AI workflows such as Language and Vision Models. Its architecture promises higher AI compute utilization than traditional solutions, thus delivering significant energy efficiency advantages.
