- Class 1: Judging the correctness or abnormality of signal waveform data.
- Class 2 (100 GOPS/W class): Judging correctness or abnormality using real-time image processing.
- Class 3 (1 TOPS/W class): Performing recognition in real time.
- Class 4 (10 TOPS/W class): Enabling incremental learning at an endpoint.
Renesas introduced an e-AI development environment in 2017, and in 2018 announced the RZ/A2M microprocessor, which integrates Renesas’ exclusive DRP (dynamically reconfigurable processor) on chip. Renesas provides these technologies for applications classified through class 2. To implement class 3 applications, Renesas has further improved the computational performance of this DRP technology.
Now, Renesas is unveiling the new, leading-edge technology developed through this effort. The new accelerator technology combines both low power consumption and improved computational performance and could be one of the key technologies to implement future class 4 applications. Renesas is committed to contributing to the realization of a smart society through increased intelligence that applies AI at both edges and endpoints in the IoT.
(Note 1) TOPS/W: Tera Operations per Second per Watt. This is a rating that indicates the number of computations that can be performed in one second with one watt of power. The performance of 8.8 TOPS/W corresponds to performing 8.8 × 10^12 calculations in one second with one watt of power.
