France’s Dolphin Design plans two DSP platforms for edge AI

French semiconductor IP and design platform provider Dolphin Design revealed it is developing two new computing platforms.

The Panther DSP platform is based on a low latency interconnect offering up to 240 Gbps bandwidth, enabling to link 16 cacheless DSP cores to reach high level of processing performances.

According to the announcement it performs 64 MAC operations per cycle with an efficiency of 120 GOPS/W (@2.2 GOPS) in 40 nm LP technology.

PANTHER benefits from enhanced SIMD DSP, NN, and Audio instructions to optimize the number of MAC operations per cycle. It will be available in Q1 2021.

The RAPTOR Neural Network Accelerator platform is a programmable hardware accelerator specialized in Neural Network inference and vision processing, which includes a host core, a DMA, and up to 128 processing elements. It offers support for a wide range of image processing operations.

RAPTOR performs more than 128 MAC operations per cycle with an efficiency of 2200 GOPS/W (@16 GOPS) in 28 nm FD-SOI technology. It will be available in Q2 2021.
