MILPITAS, Calif., Jan. 01, 2018 – Gyrfalcon Technology Inc, an emerging AI chip maker in Silicon Valley, CA, launches its Laceli™ AI Compute Stick after Intel Movidius announced its deep learning Neural Compute Stick in July of this year. With the company's first ultra-low power, high performance AI processor Lightspeeur® 2801S, the Laceli™ AI Compute Stick runs a 2.8 TOPS performance within 0.3 Watt of power, which is 90 times more efficient than the Movidius USB Stick (0.1 TOPS within 1 Watt of power.)

Lightspeeur® is based on Gyrfalcon Technology Inc's APiM architecture, which uses memory as the AI processing unit. This eliminates the huge data movement that results in high power consumption. The architecture features true, on-chip parallelism, in situ computing, and eliminates memory bottlenecks. It has roughly 28,000 parallel computing cores and does not require external memory for AI inference.
