XCORE.AI

OVERVIEW

With its unique multi-threaded micro-architecture, xcore.ai provides low latency with highly deterministic performance, ideal for intelligent IoT applications. Each xcore.ai features 16 logical cores split between 2 multi-threaded processor ‘tiles’. Each tile is equipped with 512kB of SRAM and a vector unit providing integer and floating point ALUs. A powerful interprocessor communication infrastructure provides high speed communication between each integrated processor, and multiple xcore.ai SoCs, for ultimate scalability. All this, within a single, homogeneous, and powerful development environment.

WHITEPAPER AND REPORTS

APPLICATIONS

Architected to deliver high processing and low eBOM. Easy to use, cost effective and scalable. It’s designed for smart, connected products across multiple applications.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Software-Defined IO

  • Deterministic processing performance
  • Precise ns timing accuracy
  • Providing fully programmable application specific interfaces
  • Embedded PHYs for MIPI, USB and LPDDR

Control Processing

  • SMP FreeRTOS across multiple threads
  • C/C++ code development environment for control code integration
  • Up to 3200 MIPS of performance available on the 800MHz package options

Flexibility

Software-defined partitioning of xcore.ai threads provide optimal configuration of IO, control, DSP and AI/ML that perfectly matches the specific requirements of each target application. Scaling of the tile clock frequency to meet exact performance requirements reduces power consumption providing cost and power effective intelligent IoT solutions.
