Movidius

The company's Myriad 2 chip is an always-on manycore vision processing unit that can function on power-constrained devices. The Fathom is a USB stick containing a Myriad 2 processor, allowing a vision accelerator to be added to devices using ARM processors including PCs, drones, robots, IoT devices and video surveillance for tasks such as identifying people or objects. It can run at between 80 and 150 GFLOPS on little more than 1W of power.[8]

Intel's Myriad X VPU (vision processing unit) is the third generation and most advanced VPU from Movidius, an Intel company. Intel's Myriad X VPU is the first of its class to feature the Neural Compute Engine—a dedicated hardware accelerator for deep neural network deep-learning inferences. The Neural Compute Engine in conjunction with the 16 SHAVE[9] cores and an ultra-high throughput intelligent memory fabric makes Myriad X a strong option for on-device deep neural networks and computer vision applications. Intel's Myriad X VPU has received additional upgrades to imaging and vision engines including additional programmable SHAVE cores, upgraded and expanded vision accelerators, and a new native 4K image processor pipeline with support for up to 8 HD sensors connecting directly to the VPU. As with Myriad 2, the Myriad X VPU is programmable via the Myriad Development Kit (MDK)[10] which includes all necessary development tools, frameworks and APIs to implement custom vision, imaging and deep neural network workloads on the chip.[11]
