Untether AI Ships the tsunAImi tsn200 Accelerator Card, Delivering High Performance Inference Beyond the Datacenter
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 12, 2023 -- Today, Untether AI, a leader in energy-centric AI acceleration technology, announced the shipment of its tsunAImi tsn200 accelerator card powered by the runAI 200 device.
By leveraging at-memory computation, Untether AI breaks through the barriers of traditional von Neumann architectures, offering industry-leading compute density with power and price efficiency.
Democratizing AI with a Cost-Efficient Offering
The introduction of the tsunAImi tsn200 accelerator card marks a significant leap towards democratizing AI by providing a more accessible entry point into the world of high-end artificial intelligence. The barriers of exorbitant computational expenses and power consumption has hindered widespread AI adoption. These barriers are overcome by the tsn200 accelerator card’s 500 TOPS, consuming only 40W for typical applications. Delivered in a small, cost-effective low-profile PCIe form factor, the tsn200 accelerator card enables data-center class compute untethered from cloud.
“Companies deploying AI beyond the datacenter were historically restricted to smaller, less effective neural networks due to resource constraints at the edge. That’s why we’re excited to round out our AI inference offerings with the tsn200 accelerator card. Its smaller, lower power form factor doesn’t compromise on performance and enables high performance AI anywhere,” said Arun Iyengar, CEO.
The tsn200 presents an opportunity for businesses to effortlessly boost their AI inference workloads and deploy larger, more potent AI models to the edge without exceeding their power or cost budgets.
tsunAImi tsn200 Delivers Unprecedented Performance for Video Analytics
Real-time video analytics demands optimal power consumption and reduced latency, and the tsunAImi tsn200 accelerator card is specifically engineered to meet these requirements. Its exceptional compute density ensures rapid and accurate processing of video data, enabling businesses to make informed decisions and gain actionable insights in real time.
Along with the tsn200 accelerator card, Untether AI provides a multi-camera Smart City reference design. It includes a complete software stack, including video ingest, preprocessing, AI acceleration, and post processing. It comes with an optimized instance segmentation neural network, trained for pedestrian and vehicle detection. However, other networks, such as object detection or semantic segmentation, can be easily added to expand the use case into smart retail, geospatial, or other video analytic applications requiring multi-camera, high-definition, real-time performance. Supplied with full source code, businesses can easily integrate this high-performance reference design to expedite the implementation of AI-powered solutions.
Availability
The tsn200 accelerator card is available now. Further information can be found at www.untether.ai. To order please go to https://www.untether.ai/products-interest-form.
Untether AI will be participating at the AI Hardware and Edge AI Summit being held September 12 - 14, 2023 at the Santa Clara Marriott, Santa Clara, CA in booth #47.
