CONVOLVE: Seamless design of Smart Edge Processors
CONVOLVE enforces Europe’s position in the design and development of smart edge-processors, such that it can become a dominant player in the global edge processing market. This requires a holistic approach that will address the whole design stack from application, model, compiler, system architecture, micro architecture, circuit and device.
The project consortium consists of 18 partners from academia and industry with strong complementary competencies in different levels of design hierarchy:
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research Foundation,Thales Alenia Space, Technische Universiteit Delft, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven,Bosch,NXP,GN, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, The University of Manchester, The University of Edinburgh, Universidad de Murcia, Universite Internationale de Rabat, ViNotion, CognitiveIC, Institute of Communication & Computer Systems, conferderation of laboratories for AI Research in Europe
A novel hardware & software platform to revolutionise artificial intelligence at the edge
Integrating AI algorithms into edge computing enables edge devices to make predictions and inferences based on incoming data. The inference at the edge market is experiencing significant growth. In this context, the EIC-funded Axelera Europa project proposes a solution comprising hardware and software platforms optimised for inference at the edge.
This solution offers accelerated processing for the latest generation of neural network models in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing and generative AI. The hardware platform is available in multiple versions (form factors) to facilitate adoption, ranging from a single device in an embedded system to multiple instances on cards within an edge data centre.
