MIPS
Multi-Threading capabilities, leadership in 64-bit processors cores, and
robust ecosystem and development tool environments are attracting AI
market leaders
Wave Computing (Wave), Mobileye Vision
Technologies Ltd (Mobileye), NetSpeed Systems, Inc. (NetSpeed),
Fungible, Inc., ThinCI, Inc. (ThinCl), and Denso group company NSITEXE
(NSITEXE), among others, leverage MIPS 64-bit processor core with
Multi-Threading in AI applications
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 8 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MIPS,
provider of the widely used MIPS processor architecture and IP cores,
today announced that its 64-bit hardware Multi-Threaded processor core
is being widely embraced by leading technology companies as they develop
Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. Most recently, Wave Computing® adopted
the MIPS core for use in its next-generation of deep learning solutions
to handle device management and control functions, including real-time
operating system (RTOS) and system-on-chip (SoC) subsystem. The embedded
MIPS core will enhance Wave’s innovative dataflow technology, which
enables fast and efficient processing of neural network graphs.
“MIPS
is the established leader in the world of 64-bit embedded cores and
consistently delivers leading-edge solutions that drive pioneering
products. Today, our core is at the heart of some of the world’s most
innovative designs that are fueling the explosive growth of AI,” said
David Lau, MIPS’ Vice President of Engineering. “Our hardware
Multi-Threading technologies set us apart from others, and the
efficiency and extensibility of our processor architecture is well
suited to deep learning and AI. While focusing on our core competencies,
we are committed to propelling the development of emerging intelligent
applications.”
Derek Meyer, CEO of Wave Computing, commented,
“The MIPS processor’s 64-bit architecture will enable us to further
support the memory address range needed for next-generation AI
applications, while its Multi-Threading capabilities enables faster
real-time and more efficient task management of our dataflow software
agents. In addition, the MIPS ecosystem and development tool
environments are well suited for rapidly growing applications like AI.”
As
design complexity and software footprints continue to increase, the
64-bit MIPS architecture is being used in an even broader set of
datacenter, connected consumer devices, networking products, and
emerging AI applications. In addition to Wave, companies including
Mobileye, Fungible, ThinCI, and DENSO, among others, are using the MIPS
64-bit processor core as they develop ground-breaking AI applications.
"MIPS
was created by the pioneers of CPU architecture and the impact it had
on creating various industries in Silicon Valley from gaming to
enterprise networking to autonomous driving has been huge," said Sundari
Mitra, CEO of NetSpeed. "The underlying multithreading architecture and
elegancy of it makes it an ideal choice for some of the next generation
applications like machine learning and AI. I am confident that under
the new leadership of Dado Banatao, MIPS will grow into greater heights.
NetSpeed is looking forward to being an active partner in this
movement.”
The MIPS64 architecture continues to be used in a
variety of applications from ADAS, and set-top boxes to networking and
telecommunications infrastructure applications. It provides a solid
high-performance foundation for future MIPS processor-based development
by incorporating powerful features, hardware virtualization
capabilities, standardizing privileged mode instructions, supporting
past ISAs, and providing a seamless upgrade path from the MIPS32 architecture.
"Our
collaboration with MIPS has played a significant role in
numerous generations of Mobileye's EyeQ® SoCs for autonomous driving
systems helped us achieving consistently best in class performance
efficiency. In EyeQ5, Mobileye leverages the latest high-performance,
highly efficient 64bit heterogeneous compute clusters of multi-threaded
multi-core MIPS CPUs," said Elchanan Rushinek, Vice President,
Engineering at Mobileye. "The I6500-F Core from MIPS has helped us to
achieve new level of performance, opening our platform and meeting our
un-compromised functional safety goals.”
"It's exciting for the
industry to see MIPS writing the next chapter in their storied
history, and we are pleased that they have placed special emphasis on
machine learning," said Dinakar Munagala, CEO of ThinCI. "The
computational workloads in deep learning are placing new demands on
established computing architectures, and MIPS has important technology
in the areas of real-time processing and multithreading. We look forward
to explore collaborating with MIPS on their new solutions for
heterogeneous computing and coherent architectures.”
Last August,
Denso group company NSITEXE, Inc. announced that it licensed the newest
MIPS CPU to drive enhanced in-vehicle electronic processing. Hideki
Sugimoto, NSITEXE, Inc. CTO, was quoted as saying, “We’re excited to
explore the highly differentiated technologies built in to its MIPS
processors which we believe can have a significant positive impact on
the performance, efficiency, and reliability of next-generation
in-vehicle electronics. We are undertaking this project with the goal of
accelerating industry innovation around enhanced processing for
automotive systems.”
“Modern scale-out workloads for analytics,
machine learning, and other big data applications are inherently network
heavy,” said Pradeep Sindhu, CEO of Fungible. “The MIPS Simultaneous
Multi-Threading architecture is an important technique to ensure that
such workloads run efficiently as measured by the CPU’s instructions per
clock, or IPC. We have seen that this efficiency translates directly
into a smaller area as well as lower power for silicon implementations
based on MIPS.”
