Why Attend
A 2020 report by Frost & Sullivan stated that 90% of industrial enterprises will be utilising edge computing by 2022. The value of the data that can be gleaned from intelligence ‘in the field’ is clear, but the current limitations of low power, on-device compute, data management and processing across the edge computing landscape continue to pose multiple engineering challenges.
We were thrilled with the success of the 3rd annual Edge AI Summit, which was the first ever dedicated summit focused on deploying machine learning on devices, and on the network infrastructure that supports the intelligent IoT. This year is all about Edge AI case studies!
From ultra-low-power microwatt applications at the ‘sensor edge’, to larger milliwatt examples at the ‘device edge’ up to the non-power constrained ‘server-network edge’; we’ll be gathering a global audience (virtually!) to explore the most innovative real-world use cases of hardware and software facilitating AI at the Edge with examples from Uber AI, Google, Bosch, Magic Leap, Rakuten and many more…

Cheng Wang
CHENG WANG. Senior VP Engineering: Architecture, Software, Silicon. Originally from Shanghai, PRC. BSEECS, UC Berkeley. Cheng has led the architecture, silicon implementation and software development for eFPGA over two generations from 180nm-16nm and now neural inferencing. Two years as VLSI designer at Zoran. MSEE, EE PhD UCLA: designed 5 FPGA chips from 90nm to 40nm. 2013 Distinguished PhD Dissertation Award. 2014 ISSCC Lewis Winner Award for Outstanding Paper. Multiple patents at UCLA and Flex Logix.
Flex Logix’s NMAX platform excels at getting high hardware utilization at batch=1, which is critical for edge applications. Most of the new information is in the 2nd half of the slide deck.
NMAX delivers from 1 to 100+TOPS, as you need, at 10x lower cost and 3-5x lower power than existing solutions because we get 50-80% MAC utilization on tough models, meaning we need less silicon area, and we achieve it with 10x less DRAM bandwidth, meaning less DRAM cost and system power.

Flex Logix
Website: http://www.flex-logix.com
Flex Logix’ NMAX inferencing accelerators provide very high throughput and hardware utilization even at batch size = 1, with low system cost and system power.
NMAX MAC utilization is over 50% even at batch size = 1. For most inferencing engines utilization drops dramatically from batch 10 to batch 1 because they stall loading weights. High MAC utilization means less silicon area needed for the same throughput.
NMAX uses proprietary Flex Logix interconnect technology to utilize local, distributed SRAM very efficiently generating very high local bandwidth and dropping DRAM bandwidth requires to that of 1 or 2 LPDDR4 DRAMs, even for YOLOv3 at 30 frames/second. This lowers power and lowers cost.
NMAX will be available in TSMC16FFC/12FFC in mid 2019.
