EdgeCortix and Renesas collaborate to accelerate AI/ML development

Renesas Electronics strategically partners with EdgeCortix to accelerate AI/ML development. EdgeCortix is into edge AI advancements by having software-first approach in developing edge computing systems mainly at chip level. Renesas also said it has also invested in EdgeCortix's latest funding round, where it will have access to EdgeCortix's cutting-edge technology. EdgeCortix offering suite of proprietary software and AI chip products accelerates AI inference tasks at very low power with low latency. They have three products on the market: MERA, a multiple hardware platform compatible compiler software framework; Dynamic Neural Accelerator (DNA), a scalable, run-time reconfigurable neural network processor intellectual property (IP); and the power-efficient SAKURA AI co-processor device. These products form an integrated solution, especially suited for real-time edge AI. EdgeCortix’s solutions can deliver better energy efficiency and better performance compared to conventional GPUs and CPUs. Renesas has established itself as a (frontrunner) in the field of edge and endpoint artificial intelligence (AI), boasting an extensive range of embedded computing solutions. This is further enhanced by the inclusion of Reality AI Software, as well as a wide array of internal and partner solutions for AI implementation in various sectors such as industrial, smart home, automotive, ...
