Roadmap of AI Processors

Ambient has developed the groundbreaking DigAn AI architecture that can scale from 5-cores to 8000 cores and from 40nm technology to 7nm or even 5nm technology. With such versatile and scalable architecture, Ambient Scientific team plans to build a roadmap of AI processors to address range of Edge AI applications starting from Endpoint AI devices. Our first products in the family of GPX AI processors, GPX-10 and GPX-5 are here.

ai processor

Distinctive Features:

  • Ambient AI processors are built using DigAn Architecture. DigAn uses revolutionary Cubic computing Concepts to achieve high performance with Ultra-Low-Power consumption
  • Each core is Software defined and programmable
  • Support for multiple operand resolutions for both weights and inputs. Operand resolution can be set and modified dynamically by the application to optimize performance and power consumption
  • Each core can be enabled, disabled and halted dynamically
  • Character Morphing between Inference and training – GPX processors can switch modes between training and inference dynamically under application control
  • Modern and intuitive SDK makes it easy to develop and optimize custom AI algorithms.

GPX-10 AI Processor

GPX-10 is a high performance, ultra-low power AI processor for Always-On embedded AI applications using deep learning algorithms. GPX-10 is a single chip AI computer. It is an integrated SoC, with 10-DigAn AI cores, 8 simultaneous sensor inputs, ultra-low-power ADC, custom memories, ARM M4F processor and numerous peripherals

Ambient Scientific’s full featured software development kit (SDK) supports AI-algorithm and model development using Tensor flow framework with Pytorch, Cafe, and other popular AI frameworks coming in the near future.

Ultra-Low Power AI for Always-On applications
  • Power consumption of 80 micro watt or less for Always-On wake word or anomaly detection
  • Runs Always-On AI applications for multiple years on a single coin-cell battery
  • Charger-less AI applications possible by harvesting energy from various natural sources such as kinetic energy and RF energy
Highly Integrated
  • Multi-channel ADC
  • Sensor fusion – Connect up to 8 analog and digital sensors simultaneously
  • ARM M4F for executing non-AI workload
Character Morphing between Inference and re-training
  • Collect and label training data at endpoint without connecting to the internet and cloud
  • Executes both inference and re- training applications. Switch from one to other mode dynamically under application control
Versatile and Flexible
  • Software-defined Programmable AI cores
  • Support for multiple operand resolutions for both weights and inputs. Operand resolution can be set and modified dynamically by the application to optimize performance and power consumption
  • Each core can be enabled, disabled and halted dynamically
Interchangeable Master-Slave Relationship
  • DigAn AI engine can change behavior between being a master or slave. This capability enables highly optimized, high performance and ultra-low- power AI applications

GPX-5 AI Processor

GPX-5 AI Processor

The GPX-5 is an AI inference processor. It is a smaller version of GPX-10 with only 5-cores. It can be used as a stand-alone SoC or as companion co-processor for AI inference. GPX-5 is an integrated SoC, with 5-DigAn AI cores, 8 simultaneous sensor inputs, ultra-low-power ADC, custom memories, ARM M0 processor and numerous peripherals.

Key Features:
  • 5 AI cores provide 1028 MAC operations per clock cycle
  • ~60 uW active power consumption in inference tasks
  • Sensor fusion with 8 I/Os
  • Years of operations on a coin cell battery
  • Lower cost than the GPX-10
