The IP driving EdgeCortix's SoC is the Dynamic Neural Accelerator (DNA) architecture, designed with a unique software-first approach, forming a tight coupling between today’s neural networks and an underlying low-power domain-specific hardware architecture. This is backed with robust software to seamlessly process applications across different machine learning frameworks.

The IP is optimized for real-time processing (e.g., batch 1), delivering value and performance for customers in business sectors including defense, autonomous vehicles, satellite and 5G communications, smart cities and manufacturing. The SoC features a unique and proprietary runtime reconfigurable architecture that enables the SoC to deliver over 10x efficiency gains over traditional GPUs.

OpenFive is contributing its low power, leading-edge deep-submicron FinFET design methodology that will make it possible to efficiently implement the complex SoC in TSMC's 12nm FinFET process, together with packaging and supply chain experience to ensure a smooth ramp up to volume production.
