AI BriefingFuriosaAI Unveils First-Generation NPU at CVPR 2023
Key point
FuriosaAI showcased its commercialized first-generation NPU at CVPR 2023, demonstrating performance across various computer vision tasks.
Details
FuriosaAI showcased its commercialized 1st-generation NPU at CVPR 2023, presenting working hardware and demos to computer vision researchers and practitioners.
The chip is designed to efficiently accelerate computer vision tasks in both data center and edge deployment environments. When running YOLOv5s, it achieves a peak performance of 330 FPS on a single card, and performs object detection at 40 FPS even when processing 8 streams simultaneously.
At CVPR 2023, the company demonstrated a variety of applications, including:
- Object detection and multi-object tracking (yolov8)
- Semantic segmentation (BiSeNetv1)
- Instance segmentation (yolov8-seg)
- Face recognition (RetinaFace-MobileNet0.25)
- Pose estimation (yolov7-pose)
The company also introduced commercial deployment cases such as OCR and Super Resolution. Based on the data gained from this commercial product launch, FuriosaAI is focusing on developing its 2nd-generation chip, RNGD (Renegade), slated for release in 2024. RNGD is being designed to be optimized for LLM and multimodal model inference.
