Ceva boosts DSP AI cores to 3TOPS January 12, 2021 // By Nick Flaherty
The second generation SensPro DSP family from Ceva adds smaller and larger versions with higher performance for AI designs
Ceva has launched its second generation of DSP AI hub IP.
The SensPro family of blocks support scalar digital signal processing and machine learning for workloads associated with a wide range of sensors including camera, radar, LiDAR, Time-of-Flight, microphones and inertial measurement units (IMUs).
The family has been extended downwards to add AI to smaller sensors such as microphones and earbuds with 0.2TOPS of performance from an INT8 array, and upwards with the first floating point FP32 AI implementation.
