Axelera AI Metis® Accelerator Cards & Compute Board
Axelera AI Metis® Accelerator Cards offer a portfolio of M.2 and PCIe cards with a 16GB compute board. The PCIe AI accelerator cards are powered by a quad-core Metis AIPU, providing high-performance inference acceleration, incorporating ease of use, power efficiency, and scalability.
A single, quad-core Metis AIPU powers the M.2 AI Inference Acceleration cards, which are ideal for constrained devices that need high-performance AI inference. The product variant with no cooling allows users flexibility to design a personal cooling solution employing the Metis M.2 Thermal Design Guidelines.
The Axelera AI Metis Compute Board is a compact, power-efficient single-board computer (SBC) and complete IoT platform developed to operate AI applications that require intense computing resources on devices at the edge. The complete AI acceleration system includes the Voyager® SDK, simplifying app development with connectivity and storage options to fit almost all use cases.
