Axelera Edge 130p

Built with a quad-core Metis AIPU

Axelera AI has created a range of PCIe accelerators for customers and developers seeking more performance. The Axelera Edge 130p is a half-height, half-length (HHHL) PCIe card powered by one Metis AIPU, and can deliver up to 214 TOPS, enabling it to handle the most demanding vision applications or your local language models and agents. This performance is enhanced through the exceptional developer experience offered by the Voyager® toolchain to accelerate application deployment.

This powerful, industry-standard PCIe card comes in two memory configs: 4 GB and 16 GB.

FAQ

What is the Axelera Edge product line?

Axelera Edge is a line of industry-standard PCIe accelerator cards built for the highest performance-efficiency inference acceleration on the market. The cards combine software ease of use, power efficiency, and scalability, and plug into existing infrastructure without a redesign. Configurations are available for systems where passive cooling is sufficient, or with active cooling.

What is Metis? Why is it special?

Metis is Axelera AI's sub-10-watt AI Processing Unit (AIPU). It combines proprietary Digital In-Memory Computing (D-IMC) and RISC-V controlled dataflow technology with the Voyager SDK, delivering high performance at a fraction of the cost and power consumption of other solutions, with built-in data security.

What is the Axelera Edge 130p?

The Edge 130p is a half-height, half-length (HHHL) PCIe accelerator card powered by one Metis AIPU, built for customers and developers who need performance in edge scenarios. It handles demanding vision applications as well as local language models.

What performance does the Axelera Edge 130p deliver?

The Edge 130p delivers 214 TOPS and up to 3,200 FPS on ResNet-50. In FPS benchmarks across Ultralytics YOLOv5, YOLOv7, and YOLOv8 networks, it outperforms two competitor accelerators. For example, reaching 865 FPS on Ultralytics YOLOv5s compared to 543 and 334 FPS for the competitors tested.

What memory configurations are available for the Axelera Edge 130p?

The Axelera Edge 130p comes in two memory configurations: 4 GB and 16 GB. This lets customers match the card to their workload without paying for memory they don't need.

What software does the Axelera Edge 130p use?

The Axelera Edge 130p integrates through Axelera’s Voyager SDK, which speeds up application deployment with hassle-free evaluation, software integration, and advanced quantization tools for uncompromised prediction accuracy. A wide range of end-to-end AI pipelines and models are available out of the box. Voyager Wingman, Axelera’s agentic platform allows for an even easier experience, allowing users to chat in order to create pipelines and troubleshoot deployment.

How can I order the Axelera Edge 130p?

The Axelera Edge 130p can be ordered directly through the Axelera store. A downloadable product brief with full specs and benchmark data is also available on the product page. Contact us if direct sales support is needed.
