Product Summary
The MLSoC™ provided by SiMa.ai is a System-on-Chip (SoC) specialized for inference processing designed for embedded applications. Manufactured using a 16nm process, this product is capable of completing a series of processes, from image and video input to pre-processing, inference, post-processing, and output, all on a single chip.
MLSoC™ combines industry-leading low power consumption performance with highly efficient inference processing capabilities, making it ideal hardware for Physical AI applications that require real-time performance and low power consumption.
In addition, SiMa.ai offers "Palette™," software that works with MLSoC™, significantly improving developer productivity through GUI-based AI pipeline construction and compatibility with existing AI frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.).
