UP AI Core X Series

Deep Neural Networks Hardware accelators

UP AI Core X series, powered by Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPUs, drive the demanding workloads of modern computer vision and AI applications at ultra-low power.

UP AI CORE X is the most complete product family of neural network accelerators for Edge devices. The expansion boards are available in MiniCard/mPCIe, M.2 2280 and custom form factors with single and multiple chips. With just a few watts of power consumption, each chip delivers up to four trillion operations per second (TOPS) with a Neural Compute Engine capable of delivering up to one TOPS.

Why Artificial Intelligence on the Edge?

Most IT solutions which are available today are focused on connecting Edge devices to the cloud and these deployments face challenges related to latency, network bandwidth, reliability and security.

Experts in this field agree that not all the tasks and decision-making processes can be addressed in cloud-based models. UP AI Edge is the solution for those cloud limitations by bringing AI performance and hardware acceleration not ‘at’ but ‘ON’ the Edge of the Internet of Things and of the latest technology.

What can you achieve with this AI module?

The Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X VPU is a giant leap over the previous generation of VPUs. It can reach up to 105 FPS (80 typical), and can perform over 1 trillion floating point operations per second as a dedicated neural network accelerator. The Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X is capable of processing video and performing facial recognition in real-time. Best of all, the Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X is an ultra-low power VPU, needing very little energy to perform.

Tech Specifications

Enabling deep learning by multiple VPU

Are you trying to run more than one camera? Do you need a different network in VPU? Or do you require a whole different interface? UP AI Edge provides different options for the numbers of VPU and interface.
It goes along with most of the mainboards in the market for ease of your your development. Once the development is completed, we can also integrate the VPU into a custom single board computer.
