Origin E1 NPUs are individually customized to various neural networks commonly deployed in edge devices, including home appliances, smartphones, and security cameras. For products like these that require dedicated AI processing that minimizes power consumption, silicon area, and system cost, E1 cores offer the lowest power consumption and area in a 1 TOPS engine.
The Origin E1 neural engines use Expedera’s unique packet-based architecture, which enables parallel execution across multiple layers, achieving better resource utilization and deterministic performance. This innovative approach significantly increases performance while lowering power, area, and latency.
The Origin E1 family supports combinations of many common neural networks, including ResNet 50 V1, EfficientNet, NanoDet, Tiny YOLOv3, MobileNet V1, MobileNet SSD, BERT, CenterNet, Unet, and many others.
