Performance boost for artificial intelligence in situational awareness, autonomous driving and predictive maintenance applications
MicroSys miriac AIP-S32G274A SBC with Hailo-8 AI accelerator modules
Columbia, MD / Munich, Germany, and Tel Aviv, Israel, November 30th, 2021 – NXP Gold partner MicroSys Electronics announced that its new embedded SoM (System-on-Module) platform miriac AIP-S32G274A, which is based on NXP S32G vehicle network processors, now supports Hailo-8 AI accelerator modules. A result of MicroSys’s partnership with leading AI (Artificial Intelligence) chipmaker Hailo the powerful AI solution delivers up to 52 TOPS (tera operations per second) for ASIL D safe zonal gateways and real-time controls in autonomous vehicle and stationary machine applications. The new, application-ready SoM based AI platform targets a wide range of industrial and mobility markets such as Industry 4.0 gateways, zonal automotive controllers, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) controllers, heavy machinery controls, smart farming robots, autonomous logistics vehicles, robots and more, and meets OEM requirements in terms of industrial quantity, quality and long-term availability.
Powered by the NXP S32G274A vehicle network processor, the SoM based miriac AIP-S32G274A can integrate up to 2 advanced Hailo-8 AI accelerators to reach its maximum AI performance of 52 TOPS, providing best-in-class processing performance and deep learning capabilities for decentralized situational awareness. The embedded platform delivers exceptional AI computing performance across multiple standard NN benchmarks, including 2450 Frames Per Second (FPS) on Resnet-50, 2100 FPS on Mobilenet-V1 SSD, and up to 380 FPS on YOLOv5m.
Awarded “Best AI and Vision Processor 2021” by the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, the automotive grade Hailo-8 outperforms other available AI processors for edge computing with up to 26 TOPS at a typical power consumption of 2.5 W. The miriac AIP-S32G274A embedded platform, combining the Hailo-8 AI processor with MicroSys’s Arm Cortex NXP Automotive S32G platforms, provides customers with a highly efficient way to implement AI into their connected edge appliances.
