New ZF ProAI packs a punch with up to 66% more computing power than its predecessor
19 Apr 2021
German car parts maker Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen (ZF) has unveiled the next generation of its AI-based supercomputer ZF ProAI.
The new ZF ProAI, which ZF claims is “the most flexible, scalable, and powerful automotive-grade supercomputer in the world,” supports all applications from automated driving levels 2 to 5.
With up to 66% more computing power than its predecessor, ZF ProAI’s AI capabilities are optimized for deep learning processes. Small yet powerful, its high-performance board features a 360° GPU for storing sensor data, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system, cameras, and audio units. Besides saving installation space, the new supercomputer also consumes up to 70% less power (3 teraOPS per Watt, on average).
