Does anyone have informed opinion about the usability / value / relevance / quality of the Neural network support on this chip ?
Their page mentions spec with :
• SiFive U74 RISC-V Dual core with 2MB L2 cache @ 1.5GHz
• Vision DSP Tensilica-VP6 for computing vision
• NVDLA Engine (configuration 2048 MACs@800MHz )
• Neural Network Engine (1024MACs@500MHz)
So this board seems to have some great support for neural net / robotics processing ?
I have just noticed the recent trend of neural hardware support on mainstream chips... Apples M1, this chip.
Wondering what the implications are for software and user-space .. what kind of devices / apps will this enable ?
One area Im interested in is turning lidar scanner point data into 3D geometry on the device, thus solving a big data management issue.
- UncleOxidant 6y agoI suspect an NVIDIA Jetson would be a better choice for this kind of application.
- panny 6y agoIf it has driver/firmware blobs, I'll say no thanks and stick to my ARM Rockchips. If they deliver this on linux with full source code, I will definitely buy their boards.
- CameronNemo 6y agoNew Rockchip boards are coming with neural processing units.
